Frogwares has announced that The Sinking City 2 is now available to preorder on the PlayStation Store, as well as revealing the game will be priced at $49.99 – far cheaper than most PS5 games cost nowadays on release.
Speaking on the news, Sergiy Oganesyan, Publisher Director at Frogwares, commented:
Seeing pre-orders go live is quite a surreal milestone for us. It means the game is basically at the finish line, and that’s not something we were always sure would happen. The Sinking City 2 is the most ambitious game we’ve ever made, built under circumstances most studios never have to plan for by a team working remotely across Ukraine and beyond. Even now, with around two months till launch to go, we made the call to move the entire project over to Unreal Engine 5.8 because we believed the performance gains were worth the effort for our players.
Our pricing follows the same philosophy. While most survival horror games today launch at $60 or more, we’re launching at $49.99 because we want to be fair and give as many people as possible the chance to step into Arkham with us.
The Sinking City 2 will also be available as a Deluxe Edition for $54.99, which features the base game, Chthonic Arsenal Pack, and The Arkham Field Kit. In addition, there’s a Premium Edition for $59.99 that includes everything in the Deluxe Edition, plus the Holloway Manor and 24 hours of advanced access.
The Sinking City 2 is scheduled for release on August 18, 2026 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, and takes place in the 1920s in the city of Arkham, which has been the victim of a supernatural flood. The game is set in a semi-open world and places major emphasis on classic survival horror tropes such as inventory and resource management, with players facing brain-teasing puzzles and battling supernatural threats as you look to rescue the one you love.
