The Sinking City returns with a sequel that will first have to go through Kickstarter

The video game industry faces a complicated landscape, dominated by large publishers with million-dollar budgets, despite the crisis affecting the sector. This economic framework has led many studios to seek new forms of financing, with crowdfunding being one of the most effective tools to maintain their creative independence. The Ukrainian studio Frogwares, known for its work on the Sherlock Holmes franchise, has pointed out that crowdfunding has become essential in these uncertain times.

A Kickstarter where we will have all the details

In particular, Frogwares has announced the launch of its crowdfunding campaign for the highly anticipated sequel, The Sinking City 2, which will begin on March 6 through Kickstarter. Although details about the project are still limited, the existence of two exclusive editions for backers has been confirmed: a limited edition and a collector’s edition. This initiative is expected to be a major event, with promises of incredible rewards, special events, and surprises for sponsors.

The Sinking City 2 will take players to a fascinating open world set in 1920s America, immersing them in the Lovecraftian horror that characterizes the work of H.P. Lovecraft. One of the standout features of this game is the inclusion of a deduction option, allowing players to choose between diving into a more fear and survival-focused experience or engaging in the traditional investigative elements of the franchise.

With the scheduled release for 2025 on platforms like PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, more details about the gameplay and other aspects of the game are expected to be revealed in the coming days. Fans of the horror genre and followers of Frogwares are eager for what promises to be a standout title in the near future.
