Evaluation

The Sinking City Remastered launched on May 13, 2025, delivering a full Unreal Engine 5 visual overhaul of the original 2019 game, provided free to existing owners. All six DLC packs for the game are released, with the most recent batch (Merciful Madness, Experience Boost, and Chicago Organ Grinder) having shipped on January 16, 2024. No DLC is listed as unreleased, and no further content for this title has been announced. Frogwares resolved a lengthy publishing dispute in January 2024, becoming the sole publisher of the game, then delivered the updated version with new DLC and finally the full remaster in May 2025. Since the remaster launched, all developer communications posted to this game's Steam page have been focused entirely on The Sinking City 2 — a separate sequel game. This includes a July 2026 extended gameplay trailer and a July 2026 pre-order announcement for that sequel. None of these posts indicate any additional content planned for the remastered first game. With the remaster shipped, all DLC released, and the developer's public attention fully on a new sequel, this game's content is complete.

Game Description:

The Sinking City is an adventure and investigation game set in an open world inspired by the universe of H.P. Lovecraft, the master of Horror.
