Minds and bodies are forever altered by exposure to the horrors hiding in the darker corners of the world. It\u2019s perhaps no surprise, then, that <em>The Sinking City 2 <\/em>\u2013 which just got a world premiere in the latest Xbox Partner Preview broadcast \u2013 has undergone its own unexpected change.<\/p>\n<p>Where the first game was a detective adventure, with horror bubbling up from its flooded world, its sequel has taken on a darker, more aggressive form. <em>The Sinking City 2 <\/em>is a true horror game now, with more emphasis on combat, while keeping a Lovecraftian narrative close to its twisted heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>The Sinking City <\/em>is one of our most successful titles, because of our stronger horror genre leanings and the setting,\u201d Frogwares Head of Publishing, Sergey Oganesyan tells me. \u201cFor us, it was kind of a breakthrough, and we are super excited to work on a full-scale horror game. We have created quite a few detective adventures in the past, so now we\u2019re going to mix things up to keep doing what people love from us \u2013 meaning story-rich experiences \u2013 while still being able to evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-3-b8537f3d61dc6317accc.jpg\" alt=\"The Sinking City 2 Screenshots\" class=\"wp-image-200325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-3-b8537f3d61dc6317accc.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-3-b8537f3d61dc6317accc-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-3-b8537f3d61dc6317accc-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-3-b8537f3d61dc6317accc-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>The result is a game with a similar set-up, but a very different execution. Like the first game, Frogwares are using an early 20<sup>th<\/sup> Century setting, a city afflicted by flooding, and an outsider stepping into a situation they cannot comprehend. But unlike the original, we\u2019re now being thrown headfirst into a horror story (rendered in the powerful Unreal Engine 5) \u2013 and the city in question is an unexpectedly familiar place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s mid-1920s America, as the country goes full steam ahead into the boom years after the First World War,\u201d explains Oganesyan. \u201cBut in some corners of the US, there is no glitz and glam. The city of Arkham (a name that should be familiar to most Lovecraft fans \u2013 and not to be confused by Batman fans) has been the victim of an ongoing flood of unknown, supernatural origins.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oganesyan tells me that the team will be staying quiet on the precise details of the story, but hints that it will pull from new Lovecraft stories, as well as the original game\u2019s influences \u2013 and will feature \u201ciconic Lovecraftian monsters like the Deep Ones more front and center.\u201d But Frogwares has always been a studio that puts its own spin on classic influences (this is the studio famous for its Sherlock Holmes games, after all) \u2013 and creating a truly original horror story is their key concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-b1cd7a99f7512c670209-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"The Sinking City 2 Screenshots\" class=\"wp-image-200327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-b1cd7a99f7512c670209-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-b1cd7a99f7512c670209-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-b1cd7a99f7512c670209-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-b1cd7a99f7512c670209-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-b1cd7a99f7512c670209-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/figure>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>\u201cThe rot and decay from the waters have become constant,\u201d continues Oganesyan. \u201cIn the darker corners of the gloom are creatures not of this world. And the population\u2019s minds have twisted and contorted to the point where they are somehow used to it all. This is the world our character steps into on a mission that won\u2019t be made clear to you right away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That character <em>isn\u2019t<\/em> the first game\u2019s lead, Charles Reed \u2013 Frogwares aren\u2019t yet ready to talk about who he is \u2013 but it was a very purposeful choice to offer players some new shoes to fill:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to create a story and setting that wasn\u2019t burdened by what we created in <em>The Sinking City<\/em>,\u201d says Oganesyan of the character and location shifts, \u201cespecially since players have various endings they favored or considered the \u2018true ending\u2019.

Let some new guy take that hit instead of piling more onto poor Charles.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the biggest change of all is in the gameplay itself \u2013 something you can glean even through the CG reveal trailer. Where the original was a detective game with occasional horror-combat elements, <em>The Sinking City 2<\/em> effectively flips that around.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCombat and exploration are the main focus now, with the horror setting more prominent. We\u2019re also going to be smarter with our city design, making our world smaller to keep things flowing better,\u201d says Oganesyan. \u201cWe\u2019ve been hard at work focusing on making sure our combat is now central to the game. With this then comes enemy design, to ensure there is a strong visual horror element. On top of that, we also have our level design, story, and world design all leaning a lot more toward horror, so overall it\u2019s a much stronger push in this direction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-4-4b1a20378229ed8835ae.jpg\" alt=\"The Sinking City 2 Screenshots\" class=\"wp-image-200329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-4-4b1a20378229ed8835ae.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-4-4b1a20378229ed8835ae-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-4-4b1a20378229ed8835ae-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-4-4b1a20378229ed8835ae-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>\u201cAs for the detective work, it\u2019s still there but now through a revamped system that makes it all optional. Players can now choose to investigate clues, knowing that in return they may get info that helps them progress differently. For example, engaging in some additional sleuthing may yield information on how to weaken a formidable boss or help you discover an alternate route that you had no idea about. You could, of course, progress without this knowledge, but it will be potentially easier or more engrossing to do so based on info you\u2019ve deduced.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a major shift, and clearly one that Frogwares has put a great deal of thought into \u2013 but it\u2019s also been a passion project that\u2019s had to be created slowly, through some incredibly difficult real-life circumstances, given the studio\u2019s roots in Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve never shared this before, but we were in the early stages of pre-production on <em>The Sinking City 2<\/em> when the war broke out in Ukraine in February 2022,\u201d says Oganesyan. \u201cThis forced us to put all that work indefinitely on hold. Now that we know what we are capable of handling, have adapted to the situation as best as we can, and taken all the measures to ensure the stable workflow of our studio, we felt it was time to start up <em>The Sinking City 2 <\/em>again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2-7eaecc15f36f95d3339a.jpg\" alt=\"The Sinking City 2 Screenshots\" class=\"wp-image-200331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2-7eaecc15f36f95d3339a.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2-7eaecc15f36f95d3339a-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2-7eaecc15f36f95d3339a-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2-7eaecc15f36f95d3339a-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><\/figure>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>It gives the changes Frogwares are making an extra significance.
