Surviving Arkham is not an easy task. The city is infested with monsters, the dead, and creatures of all kinds and shapes. So you’ll need to plan ahead, gather clues, and retreat when necessary.

The Sinking City 2 is a third-person survival horror set in 1920s Arkham. Deliberate, tense, and resource-lean: pressure builds as you push deeper, relief comes in brief refuge, and fear is something you manage. Mind your inventory, take on unnerving puzzles, and double back via unlocked shortcuts for supplies and upgrades.

The Sinking City 2 will come to PC, Xbox, and PS5 on 18 August 2026.

00:05I severed my eyes from the nerve, and as they died in their sockets, I introduced the slither.
00:11Now, alien and arcane worlds of old sing to me from the page.
00:16As a translator, it has been absolutely...
00:19What is this? What are you up to?
00:22Welcome to Arkham, a once-bustling city on the American East Coast,
00:27and now rotting away from a mysterious flood.
00:31Attention citizens of Arkham, this is your final notice.
00:37The ocean rose without warning, and those who did not leave, the faithful and the trap,
00:43have been taken by the cosmic cataclysm.
00:47Tempting me, whispering sweet nothings.
00:55You play as Calvin Rafferty, an occult adventurer and a seeker of truth.
01:01Calvin's soulmate, Faye Bennett, faded into a twilight state after they both set foot beyond the veil.
01:09Now there is nothing we won't do to bring her back, no matter who stands in his way.
01:16Oh, please, darling, just set me free.
01:19I haven't felt the seas embrace for days and days.
01:22My skin is a nightmare.
01:25Sorry, he has something I need.
01:28I am all you need.
01:30You'd really give up a gal like me?
01:33I'd give up everything for her.
01:35Before the Flood, Arkham was home to several important landmarks.
01:40The Miskatonic University, the Akeley Memorial Hospital, the Fish Market, the Devil's Reef Hotel, and more.
01:48Today, the city is a shell of its former self, abandoned, decrepit, and perilous.
01:56The water rises a little more every day.
02:01A nap.
02:02Now we can get our bearings.
02:04Each location you'll explore offers a hallmark survival horror experience.
02:09Doors that won't budge.
02:11You are not the best case.
02:13Interconnected hallways.
02:14What is happening?
02:16These are our things.
02:18How?
02:19And, of course, save rooms that seem to exist beyond our world.
02:24How did you do that?
02:25You vanished?
02:27The Sinking City 2 blurs the line between survival horror and investigation.
02:33Here, investigation is survival.
02:42Ammo is scarce.
02:48Monsters are strong.
02:49So, do not skip the clues you find.
02:51They will help solve a puzzle, unlock inventory slots, give insight into the surrounding madness, or reward you with a
02:59second chance when the fight turns.
03:09No, not today.
03:12No, not today.
03:13No, not today.
03:14No, not today.
03:32But, rewards are not the only reason to investigate.
03:36The most eldritch mysteries in Arkham stay buried until you dig them out.
03:50However, no amount of clues will save you from a fight you can't avoid.
04:01Arkham is infested with Lovecraftian monstrosities.
04:04Deformed shapes, razor-sharp fangs, and masquerading dead.
04:15The Slither.
04:17Foul worms that arrived at the Flood.
04:20Now they're everywhere.
04:22Each monster has its own strengths and weaknesses, and you will need to use Kalvin's entire toolset to deal with
04:28it.
04:32Land a precise shot to stun.
04:35Time your punch to buy a few seconds to reload.
04:40Dodge a charge and leave the enemy open for a stomp.
04:45Use environmental hazards for a group kill.
04:54Though some things don't die on the first try.
04:57Stomp what crawls out if you don't want the dead to come back.
05:08Damn worms.
05:12Visceral survival horror.
05:14Otherworldly Lovecraftian design.
05:17Mysteries worth digging for.
