The Kickstarter Frogwares campaign for the dipking City 2 is already live, and has deactivated its crowdfunding goal in less than one day, raising more than £ 140k at the time or writing.
As part of his crowdfunding impulse, Frogwares has shared new details of The Hunding City 2, confirming that the Lovecratian sequel is an independent story with new characters and locations. Once again, it is set in the America of the 1920s, but instead of reviewing Oakmont, this time they will explore the flooded streets and the crumbled buildings of Arkham.
As previously revealed, the Hunding City 2, which is the first game of Unreal Engine 5 of Frogwares, marks a change in the deduction approach of its predecessor. It is a sequel firmly in the territory of survival terror, with the combat and exploration that is said to be central mechanics this time, which is perhaps a bet that is given the fight historically has been the Achilles of Frgawares heel.
Research work does Return, but now described as an “optional but very useful tool”, which will help players to discover secrets, game and tradition bonds. The city Donking 2 will also present a smaller map, explorable both on foot and by boat, which aims to provide a “better flow and concentration of things to discover.”
You will find some more details on the Sinking City 2 Kickstarter page, and there is a look at a pre-alpha game on the trailer above.
Frogwares aims to launch the city Donking 2 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S at the end of this year. And if you want to get involved with your crowdfunding campaign, which says it will help “essentially guarantee our team the time and resources necessary to explore” new features, there are still 29 days before things come to an end.
Frogwares, based in Ukraine, successfully adopted a similar crowdfunding approach with 2023 Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, since he continued to adapt to life during Russia’s continuous invasion. “This financial security network was invaluable to us,” writes the study in his last Kickstarter campaign, “so we must do the same now with the Hunding 2 city, since this game is much larger and more complex.”
