Frogwares is now the sole publisher of The Sinking City on all platforms, including Steam. We're happy to finally put this whole thing behind us, and we look forward to sharing more news about the future of the franchise down the line.

We will also release a new DLC, Merciful Madness, but please keep in mind that it will only work with the new version of the game. If you don't want to replay the game from scratch to access the DLC, you will be able to download the prepared saves that will take you straight to the start of the Merciful Madness quests.

Good for them. They had to go through such a legal hell for this game. What Nacon did to them was crazy

 

[Magic Carpet]

Sinking City 2, The Unsinkining.

 

[TheUsual]

That's good! Remember for a time you could only get their version only on Games planet and that was recently pulled by them on there

 

[ClanOfNone]

Sinking City was pretty good, I enjoyed it more than the Call of Cthulhu game that released around the same time.
Sounds like a good time to buy the PS5/Series X version. I’ll have to see if where it runs better if at all.

 

[Tarnpanzer]

Thanks for this reminder. Need to buy this before the sale ends.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Sweet, glad they were finally able to prevail. I already own this on Xbox but just now snagged it on Steam to support them. $3.99 in the US on Winter Sale.

 

[STARSBarry]

Good for them, not been following the whole process but understood they essentially suffered the "macross" issue where someone said "no we own the rights to this X infinity" and anyone who questions the fact that they don't gets dragged the court and told to prove they don't while dragging it out on technicalities for as long as possible until they run out of money.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Cool, I'll buy the PS5 version to support them. 85-90% off depending on the platform is a steal anyway.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Double-dipped for the PS5 and Steam versions just to support them. Happy to see this! It sounds like they're releasing a new update too that will hopefully tackle some of the technical bugs.

Is that on all platforms or just PC, I wonder...

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Cool! If they consider a physical release for current-gen consoles I'll bite.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Sinking City was great. A sleeper hit for me. The Lovecraftian themes were done very well, and the story and characters were the best part of the game. It's exciting to hear Frogware talk about this IP as "franchise", which makes it seem they will do a sequel. New DLC is a nice little bonus too. Will do a new playthrough soon so I can play it.

 

[Flabagast]

Good for them.

How was the game ? I heard mixed feelings, some seem to love it while other call it terrible

 

[Certinty]

Underrated studio, they know what they're good at and stick to it.

Would be interesting if someone invested a fair amount more into them, then I wonder what they could produce.

 

[semiconscious]

sinking city is the deadly premonition of last gen. disturbing, funny, & utterly unique...

 

[Variahunter]

A good reminder to never buy a Nacon published game.
Strenght and honor to Frogwares.

 

[simpatico]

Underrated game. Sweet ass eastern euro jankware.

The Stinking Shitty

 

[Chuck Berry]

Less than $10 on the PSN sale for the deluxe version.

Grabbed it. Seems decent so far. Cool as shit ambient music.

 

[Beer Baelly]

So do I get a free upgrade now? I own the original

 

[Perrott]

Hell yeah, fuck you Nacon!

 

[mdkirby]

That’s great. After getting royally fucked by nacon for years, and just as they were starting to untangle from them and get on their own two feet, Nazi Russians invaded their country … yet somehow they managed to make an entire game during that time too.

Can’t wait to see what they are cooking up

 

[Darkmakaimura]

This game should get a sequel but involve threat from the Mythos.

 

[darkangel-212559]

Yeah in Feb. But your old saves won't work with the new version. But Frog Wares will provide new saves. You can choose to keep playing the old version with your saves.

 

[darkangel-212559]

The Stinking Shitty

Why the crap low effort post? It's actually a really solid game. Atmosphere of Silent Hill with hard core detective game play that never holds your hand. It's brilliant. Yeah it has the Euro Jank, but it's all part of the charm. Better than any recent Bethesda game which has far worse jank then this.

You did legitimately more marketing with this comment than the game got during release.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Bought.

Didnt read anything about consoles so I bought the Sherlock Holmes combo. It was on sale. The next gen upgrade really looks nice.

This quote should be on the back of the box if Frogware decides to release it physically again.

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

Excellent game. Finished the ps4 version. Have the pc one, will wait till the update to get into it.
