Soft Rains’ Ambrosia Sky: Act Two is Out Today on Steam and Epic Games Store

The clean-em-up immersive sim’s final chapter is available now

Toronto, Canada – August 6, 2026 – Ambrosia Sky: Act Two, the highly anticipated concluding chapter to the clean-’em-up immersive sim from developer Soft Rains, is out today on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Act Two follows 2025’s successful release of Ambrosia Sky: Act OneAmbrosia Sky follows Dalia, a young field scientist in space who returns to her home colony following a world-altering crisis. Armed with an upgradeable chemical sprayer, she cleanses contaminated space stations, lays the dead to rest, and searches for answers behind the catastrophe threatening humanity.

Act Two follows Dalia’s search for her ex-girlfriend, Maeve, while continuing to recover DNA that could unlock the secret to human immortality. The story brings the central mysteries introduced in Act One to a conclusion.

Beyond its narrative finale, Act Two expands the experience with new locations, additional exo-fungus species, a revamped progression system, new equipment upgrades, and new player abilities. As players venture deeper into The Cluster, they’ll encounter increasingly dangerous fungal lifeforms and shifting zero-gravity environments that make Dalia’s tether an essential traversal tool.

Ambrosia Sky revels in its quieter moments. Cleaning isn’t just about sanitization; it’s a personal act that connects Dalia to the spaces she explores and the people who used to inhabit them. Laying the dead to rest allows players to hear the final wishes of those lost in the crisis, preserving a piece of who they were as Dalia grants them one final act of care.

Act Two is available today as a free update for existing players. For new players, a limited-time 20% launch discount will allow them to pick up the full game at just $11.99 USD. Following the promotional period, the full game price will increase to $24.99 USD to reflect the expanded experience.

There Goes the Neighbourhood | The Sinking City 2 Releases 12+ Minute Gameplay Trailer

New Gameplay Trailer Unveils Never-Before-Seen Location, Weapons, and Enemies | New Game+ at Launch, HDR Support to Follow

29 July 2026, Kyiv, Ukraine | Today, Frogwares has released a new 12-minute gameplay trailer for The Sinking City 2, its upcoming Lovecraftian survival horror game launching on August 18, 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

The new trailer features never-before-seen gameplay captured in the Arkham Fish Market, once a bustling waterfront hub alive with merchants, dockworkers, fishermen, and travelers. Today, it stands as a decaying monument to the evacuated city. Rusting ships sit abandoned in the harbor, empty storefronts line the flooded halls, and the workshops that once supported the local fleets have long since fallen silent. Eldritch monstrosities now stalk the market’s walkways, while only the most unhinged survivors remain, as the flood seeps further and further into their minds. The footage also offers a closer look at protagonist Calvin Rafferty in combat, showcasing more advanced weapons and the tougher encounters awaiting players as they face larger, deadlier, and increasingly unpredictable horrors.

New Game+ Available at Launch, HDR Patch Planned as Free Post-Launch Support 

Frogwares has also confirmed that The Sinking City 2 will include a fully featured New Game+ mode at launch, giving players even more reasons to return to Arkham after completing the main story.

New Game+ lets players carry over all their perk points, perks and items to the start of the game to better take on a range of challenges to unlock certain achievements as well as unlock various cosmetic and gameplay rewards.

Alongside the announcement, the team confirmed that its planned HDR patch is now part of the game’s free post-launch support. As development enters its final stretch ahead of the August 18 release, the studio has prioritized completing the core game and launch features, with the HDR update following shortly afterward. With most of the groundwork for the patch already complete, Frogwares is optimistic it will be available very soon after launch.

About The Sinking City 2

The Sinking City 2 is set in a Lovecraftian vision of 1920s America, in the infamous city of Arkham. A supernatural flood has driven out all but the most deranged residents, leaving decay and eldritch horrors that roam the streets. Step into the role of Calvin Rafferty, an occult adventurer whose cavalier actions have led to devastating consequences. After a dreaming ritual goes wrong, his girlfriend, Faye, is left trapped in a mysterious sleep. Now Calvin must navigate the drowned streets of a derelict city in a desperate attempt to bring her back. On his quest, he’ll come face-to-face with a plague of otherworldly creatures, the Slither, who possess and twist the dead into lethal, walking puppets.Game Features

  • Fight to Survive: Use an arsenal of 1920s-inspired weapons to fight against Eldritch abominations.

Doloc Town 1.0 Is Here – Beloved Post-Apocalyptic Farming Sim Exits Early Access Today

Doloc Town 1.0 Is Here – Beloved Post-Apocalyptic Farming Sim Exits Early Access Today with a Complete Story, New Explorable Region, Farming Automation, Expanded Localization and More

What began as a small seed in Early Access has grown into one of Steam’s highest-rated farming sims – there’s never been a better time to start your farming journey

Chongqing, China – August 6th, 2026: Logoi Games and RedSaw Games are proud to announce that Doloc Town, the acclaimed cozy post-apocalyptic farming sim, has officially launched its full 1.0 release today. After more than a year in Early Access, four major content updates, and an overwhelmingly positive 95% rating on Steam, Doloc Town now delivers the complete experience players have been helping shape since day one, now under beta localized in Japanese, Korean, Russian, French, German, and PT-BR alongside English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. To celebrate the launch, Doloc Town will be part of the Wholesome Games Steam Celebration and is available at 20% off until August 19th PT.

Doloc Town drops players into a vibrant world where nature is slowly reclaiming the ruins of a fallen civilization. Starting from scratch, players grow crops, raise animals, and rebuild their corner of the world one season at a time, all while exploring the overgrown wilderness with customizable drone companions and uncovering the mysteries buried beneath the surface. Its hand-drawn pixel-art visuals blend the cozy charm of Stardew Valley with the intrigue of a world with a story to tell: warm enough to lose an afternoon in, curious enough to keep you digging deeper. Doloc Town offers a farming adventure unlike any other.

When we first launched into Early Access, Doloc Town was a promise. Over the past year, our players helped us shape exactly what that promise should look like. Today, with 1.0, we get to deliver on it fully. Whether you’ve been with us since day one or you’re just discovering Doloc Town, we believe we’ve built something special for fans of the genre,said the producer Yao Fan from RedSaw Games.

The 1.0 release marks the payoff of a community-driven development journey that began on May 8th, 2025. Each of the game’s four major Early Access updates – Pastoral Waves, Thrive & Ties, Harvest Fusion, and Steam Workshop integration – was shaped by player feedback, expanding the game with animal husbandry, fish farming, deeper townie relationships, a gene system, town festivals, and full mod support. Today’s launch ties all of that together and adds the final pieces.

New updates and features added as part of the 1.0 release: 

  • Main Story Conclusion: The post-apocalyptic narrative reaches its finale, delivering the conclusion players have been building toward since Early Access.
  • New Area – Old City Ruins: A brand-new area to explore, featuring fierce new enemies, new NPCs to meet, new side quests to take on, and new resources to discover.
  • Farming Automation: A new system that lets players automate key aspects of their farm operations, streamlining workflows and freeing up time for exploration and story.
  • Final Farm Expansion & New Farming Territories: Upgrade your main farm to its largest and final expansion level, or grow beyond it with two additional farming territories located across different areas of the world.
  • New Town Event & Friendship Quests: A new town event and expanded townie friendship quests bring more social depth and community moments.
  • Beta Localizations, Steam Achievements & Quality-of-Life Improvements: Japanese, Korean, Russian, French, PT-BR and German localizations (under beta) join English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, alongside Steam Achievements, optimized visuals, and a wide range of quality-of-life updates.
