Gameplay

The Sinking City 2 is a semi-open world survival horror game with a focus on combat and exploration and increasing flood waters that will alter locations as the game progresses.[2][3][4][5] The game will feature an inventory system and allow the player to collect resources as well as being able to use firearms as well as melee weapons against enemies.[2][3][4][5] The game also features an optional investigation system that will give benefits to players and allow them to solve puzzles that will allow for alternate options, reveal lore and unlock secrets.[2][3][4][5]

Synopsis

Setting

The Sinking City 2 takes place in the city of Arkham in the 1920s that has been impacted by a supernatural flood.[2][3][4][5][8] The game is set to have a standalone story from the previous game.[2][3][4][5]

Release

The game was announced at the Xbox Partner Preview showcase by Microsoft Gaming in March 2024.[9][10][11][12] A Kickstarter campaign launched on March 6, 2025 to help fund the game and additional features to it.[13][14][15][16][17] CEO Wael Amr explained: "From power cuts as our electrical infrastructure was targeted for months to the need for team members to relocate at very short notice, this financial safety net proved invaluable to us. So, we need to do the same now with The Sinking City 2 as this game is vastly bigger and more complex."[18][14] On February 2025, the studio announced the registration for the playtest, gathering survival horror enthusiasts who are ready to share their feedback, meaning that the game is in the final development stages.[19]
