Developer Frogwares, known for his work on Sherlock Holmes franchise, became the sole publisher of its open-world exploration game The Sinking City after a lengthy legal dispute with Nacon (formerly Bigben Interactive).
IN publish on social networks, Frogwares stated that the latest version of the game will be released on Steam, Epic Games, GOG and Gamesplanet in the coming weeks. As we mentioned earlier, the Switch version of The Sinking City has not been affected by the ongoing dispute since Frogwares originally published it instead of Nacon.
The game was pulled from multiple outlets back in 2020 after Frogwares accused Nacon of non-payment, withholding royalties and claiming ownership of the IP. After more than two years, it appears the dispute is finally over, and Frogwares says it is “happy to finally put this whole thing behind us”.
We fully recommend checking out The Sinking City if you’re a fan of mystery games and Lovecraftian horror. It follows investigator Charles Reed as he investigates the dreary town of Oakmont to find the reason for his terrifying visions. In our 7/10 review, we said it is “offers a pleasant, if not particularly frightening entry into madness and delirium”.
