The Sinking City Dispute Finally Ends: Frogwares Emerges Victorious!
Hey there, fellow gamers! We’ve got some exciting news for you today. Remember the long-standing feud between Frogwares and publisher Nacon over the rights to The Sinking City? Well, hold onto your controllers because the battle is finally over, and Frogwares has come out on top!
Let’s do a quick recap. Back in 2021, Frogwares accused Nacon of sneaking an illegal, cracked version of The Sinking City onto Steam. On top of that, they claimed that Nacon had been late with payments and was violating their publishing agreement. Nacon, of course, fought back, insisting that Frogwares had no grounds to prevent them from releasing the game on Steam.
Frogwares Regains Full Publishing Rights
But guess what? Frogwares recently announced that they now have full publishing rights for The Sinking City, and the situation is finally resolved in their favor. In a statement that had us gamers jumping for joy, Frogwares declared, “Frogwares is now the sole publisher of The Sinking City on all platforms, including PC!”
So, what does this mean for us gaming enthusiasts? Well, it means that we can expect the latest version of The Sinking City to hit our favorite platforms like Steam, Epic Games, GOG, and Gamesplanet in just a few weeks. And here’s the best part: this updated version will come with all the previous bug fixes and optimizations. Talk about leveling up!
What to Expect and a Few Things to Keep in Mind
Now, before you dive back into the nightmarish Lovecraftian townscape of The Sinking City, there are a few things you should know. Frogwares has kindly provided us with some details:
- Due to a number of technical reasons, your old saves will not be compatible with the latest version.
- If you’re playing on Steam, you can choose to continue with the old version if you’re in the middle of a gripping playthrough. But hurry! The old version will only be available for a limited time, until February 28, 2024.
- Alternatively, Frogwares will soon release new saves for you to download and use.
- For all you Epic Games players, don’t worry! You’ll also be able to download and use Frogwares’ saves.

Review Recap: The Sinking City
Before we wrap things up, let’s quickly revisit our review of The Sinking City. Our esteemed gaming expert, Steve, had this to say:
“The Sinking City promises a nightmarish journey through a Lovecraftian townscape filled with monsters and threatening cults, but too often falls into a loop of forced combat and resource hunting. The investigative parts are excellent, and this is probably the best Lovecraft adaptation since Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth, but it still never really lives up to its potential. Close, but no Shoggoth.”
Steve’s review highlights the strengths and weaknesses of The Sinking City. While the investigative aspects of the game shine, it falls short in delivering a truly immersive experience. But hey, it’s still one of the best Lovecraft adaptations out there, and that’s no small achievement!
Conclusion: Dive Back into the Depths of The Sinking City!
Alright, fellow gamers, it’s time to gear up and prepare for a return to the eerie and menacing world of The Sinking City. With Frogwares now in full control of the game’s destiny, we can expect exciting things on the horizon.
Remember, update your saves, finish your playthroughs if you’re on the old version, and get ready for the latest iteration of The Sinking City. Stay tuned for more news from Frogwares, and let’s continue supporting them in their quest to deliver thrilling gaming experiences!
