The unique Sinking Metropolis was a contact too bold for its personal good, spreading its supernatural horror thriller throughout an open world that left it feeling skinny. Once I performed a preview construct of the sequel earlier this yr, it appeared extra targeted, the type of survival horror sport with room for exploration inside its ranges however not a complete city to free-roam round—extra like H. P. Lovecraft’s Resident Evil than a price range Grand Theft Cthulhu.
However you do not have to take my phrase for it. Through the Future Video games Present, developer Frogwares launched a one-hour demo of The Sinking Metropolis 2, which you’ll be able to attempt proper now on Steam.
Frogwares additionally introduced a launch date of August 18, which offers you time to play it forward of September’s horror video games, Silent Hill: Townfall and vampire RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker. Saving your horror sport for October might be a bit passé as of late.
There’s additionally a brand new trailer, introducing the sequel’s setting of Arkham. (Which the asylum from the Batman comics was named after.) It has been flooded so you possibly can motorboat round it, as within the first sport, and stuffed with Mythos monstrosities, together with zombies with bulging fleshy weak spots to shoot. And, er, a sultry mermaid? Effectively, I assume all these grotesque fish-human hybrids got here from someplace. (Sure, I’ve learn The Shadow Over Innsmouth.)
