Setting
The Sinking City 2 takes place in the city of Arkham in the 1920s that has been impacted by a supernatural flood. The game is set to have a standalone story from the previous game.

Release
The game was announced at the Xbox Partner Preview showcase by Microsoft Gaming in March 2024. A Kickstarter campaign is set to launch to help fund the game and additional features to it. CEO Wael Amr explained: "From power cuts as our electrical infrastructure was targeted for months to the need for team members to relocate at very short notice, this financial safety net proved invaluable to us. So, we need to do the same now with The Sinking City 2 as this game is vastly bigger and more complex.
