Frogwares’ The Sinking City 2 is walking into one of the busiest Augusts in a long time, but maybe its mix of out-and-out survival horror and investigations will stand out. It certainly makes for an intriguing pre-order trailer, where new protagonist Calvin Rafferty sinks (no pun intended) further and further into Arkham’s horrors.
It also highlights the pre-order bonuses and what Deluxe and Premium Edition owners can look forward to. Those who buy before launch will receive three weapons – the Shale Mary handgun, Breakwater shotgun, and Tektite Tommy submachine gun, which make up the Chthonic Arsenal. If you buy the Deluxe Edition for $54.99, three unique outfits await as part of the Arkham Field Kit.
You also get a Resource Pack with crafting resources, ammo and healing items alongside three Dream Essences (used for unlocking Talents) for an easier start. Finally, the $59.99 Premium Edition offers the same benefits while throwing in 24 hours of advanced access and the standalone Holloway Manor side quest, where you’ll explore a creepy mansion and acquire the Bucking Bronco revolver, which is usable in the main game.
The Sinking City 2 launches on August 18th for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Check out our impressions of the recent demo here.
