After a round of previews last month, Frogwares debuted a new trailer for The Sinking City 2, its next Lovecraftian adventure, at the Future Games Show Summer Showcase. A free demo for the title is available now on PC via Steam, but fortunately, you won’t have to wait long for the full game. It’s out on August 18th, and also coming to Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
The latest trailer showcases some of the horrors that Calvin Rafferty will encounter throughout 1920s Arkham. Besides the Slither, who reanimate corpses and attempt to “convert” you in the most gruesome way possible, there are also Deep Ones that pose a greater challenge. You may also happen upon Shadows, which defy description.
And unlike the first game, this is a proper survival horror, where conserving ammo, using the environment and running away are the key to survival. Not that Calvin won’t be solving any mysteries, though, especially since connecting clues in your journal can help unlock upgrades that will make life easier. They may even open new paths.
