The Sinking City 2 goes for survival horror

Announced this week at Xbox Partner Preview by Ukranian studio Frogwares, The Sinking City 2 will be even darker that its predecessor.

The game will go for a survival horror approach, with terrifying monsters and scary environments aplenty. While it will retain certain gameplay elements from the first game, the sequel seeks to diverge for the original formula, which revolved around puzzles and detective work.

In a message, Frogwares studio spoke about the ambitions with The Sinking City 2.

"We're going to mix things up to keep doing what people love about us - meaning story-rich experiences - while still being able to evolve. It's exciting but at the same time risky. We're a totally independent studio that for the past 24 years has become known for detective games. But we need to start taking bolder moves. The industry is changing around us and we want to secure the studio’s future."
