Frogwares is bringing The Sinking City 2 to the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, expanding the game's reach to handheld players who missed the initial console and PC launch.

Players who prefer playing on the go will now have a dedicated release window for this specific hardware.
Frogwares expands survival horror to Nintendo handheld
The Sinking City 2 is a third-person survival horror game developed by Frogwares. It is set in the flooded city of Arkham, where players explore and fight eldritch monsters. The game is powered by Unreal Engine 5, featuring Lumen global illumination and Nanite geometry to render the environment. This engine choice aims to deliver high-fidelity visuals and dynamic lighting on modern hardware.
The title initially launched on August 18 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. The Switch 2 version is scheduled for release in 2027, giving the developer time to optimize the game for the new handheld. The developer is prioritizing performance stability for the Nintendo Switch 2 version following the game's initial release on other platforms.
We looked at the last The Sinking City 2 update earlier while tracking development progress, noting the focus on balance and stability. Frogwares describes the game as a terrifying Lovecraftian journey with a heart-pounding experience. The Switch 2 release will bring this specific version of the horror adventure to a new audience of portable gamers.
