The Sinking City 2, indie developer Frogwares' upcoming follow-up to its 2019 cult classic Lovecraftian horror detective title, will be shifting direction from the original game to walk the road that a number of successful and well-received horror entries in recent times have. Titles like the Resident Evil remakes, Alan Wake 2, and last year's Silent Hill 2 Remake, have all utilized broadly similar but effective designs to create satisfying third-person horror experiences that resonated positively with fans. Frogwares has stated that The Sinking City 2 will explicitly be more of a survival horror experience, downplaying the first title's open-world and investigative aspects in favor of playing and feeling more like the aforementioned releases.
