Lovecraftian survival-horror game The Sinking City 2 has been delayed to 2026, as Frogwares says that the ongoing war in Ukraine and its ambitious design goals for the sequel will have necessitated more development time. While a concrete release date hasn't been set yet, the studio says it is aiming to have the game out in the first half of 2026.
"Developing a game during a war isn’t something you can ever really prepare for, but something you need to keep adapting to," Frogwares head of publishing Sergiy Oganesyan said in a press release. "At one point, we were losing power for days as drones and missiles hit our power grid. When that tactic stopped working, it became mass drone swarms every other night, going from midnight until dawn. You work all day, then spend the sleepless night listening for explosions, and somehow still need to function the next morning."
Lead game designer Alexander Gresko also added that The Sinking City's 2 shift toward a full-fledged survival-horror direction has also slowed the team down, as it has to learn a "completely different kind of design thinking" for the game. To make up for the delay, the studio revealed 13 new screenshots for The Sinking City 2, showing off more of the game's setting and enemies that players will encounter. Frogwares also plans to reveal a fresh look at the game soon.
While The Sinking City 2 won't be out this year, there are some great horror games that players can grab right now. Silent Hill F launched recently, and it's being praised as the new gold standard for the franchise, while 2025 has also seen the release of Cronos: The New Dawn, Heartworm, and Killing Floor 3. Looking ahead to 2026, Resident Evil: Requiem, Reanimal, and End of Abyss also look like terrifying new entries in this genre.
