Sergiy Oganesyan, Publishing Director at Frogwares, spoke about their plans for the IP saying:
We plan to do big things with The Sinking City IP, starting with the sequel and then beyond. So, after our rather well-known struggles with the original, it feels amazing to have this positive moment be part of the game’s twisted history and for us to be the ones to fully decide it.
Making it free to all our existing fans is our way of giving back to them for having supported us all this time through thick and thin.
The remaster is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms and has been made for free to all existing owners of the game.
