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

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

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.

TOKYO — Aug 5, 2026 — NAME OF THE WILL, the award-winning daylight horror cult mystery developed by Zeitgeist Studio, will invite new Neighbors when it launches in early 2027 on PC via Steam through a collaboration with Japanese publisher HYPER REAL. Go hands-on with NAME OF THE WILL’s new demo at the Indie Arena Booth during gamescom 2026, alongside a surprise title that will also be available for hands-on gameplay.

Welcome to HOPE, Neighbor 3279.

Here, the downtrodden can find enlightenment away from life’s inherent trauma and devastation. Our harmonious community resides in a 34-story compound filled with individuals just like you, who seek relief from mental anguish, grief and life’s regrets. Seek new perspectives and find the good in everything through HOPE’s education courses. Here, pain is freedom, death is not to be feared, and mourning is misguided.Our friendly Neighbors will always watch your back from behind their smiling masks to ensure we all stay on the path without fear of regressing to our baser instincts. Follow HOPE’s helpfully thorough conduct system, do your part to foster harmony, heed our Benevolent Father’s every word, and you’ll fit right in.

Smile through seven days embedded in HOPE as 3279, a new Neighbor asking a few too many questions. Mind every word and action as HOPE’s seven-strike Conduct System tallies every “disruption of harmony”, where different scores alter their path and how it will all end.

By daybreak, explore the halls of HOPE’s indoctrination facility. Interact with uncanny Neighbors, attend re-education classes, and sit through tense interrogations where 3279’s answers could cost a member’s life. Vote to select the day’s victim, and inflict anguish on them during disturbing Reformation rituals. When night falls, evade the Benevolent Father as he prowls the halls, and sneak into forbidden Backstage areas to uncover HOPE’s harrowing origins. 

Investigate both reality and the ethereal as 3279’s past traumas bleed into the present. Collaborate with other skeptics in search of answers, and piece together clues, memory fragments, and diary entries that shed light on 3279’s mysterious circumstances. 

Question free will itself while delving into a fully hand-drawn, morally ambiguous tale inspired by the Buddhist philosophy of shared karma. NAME OF THE WILL’s award-winning horrors (A MAZE. WINGS Award 2026, Third Place of NEOWIZ Indie Quest) are complemented by an abstract amalgamation of Hong Kong’s soundscape by renowned composer hirsk (Golden Melody Awards – Best Instrumental Album Producer). 

“NAME OF THE WILL’s horror does not come from jumpscares or monsters; it comes from the pressure to conform, even when everything in you resists,” said Mandy Wong, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Zeitgeist Studio. “Thanks to the support of HYPER REAL, what started as a passion project has grown to become something much bigger than we could ever imagine, and we look forward to sharing our creation with worldwide horror fans at gamescom this month.”

NAME OF THE WILL arrives on PC via Steam in early 2027 with language support in English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, French, Russian, Ukrainian, and Spanish (Latin America).

Improvements to criminal activities, snappier combat, new locations, and more 

BORDEAUX, France – Aug. 6, 2026 – Wartales, the medieval open-world tactical RPG with more than one million units sold from developer Shiro Games, receives a massive free update on Monday, Sept. 7, 2026. Community Update 7 features overhauls to criminal activities and the Prisoner system, a nefarious new hub, additional armor sets and battle maps, and much more driven by community feedback.

Live a life on the wrong side of the law and settle in at “The Lair,” a new hub location dedicated to underworld activities. As part of Community Update 7’s expanded focus on Crime and Chaos playstyles, troops that garner enough suspicion can learn of The Lair by visiting various informants. In The Lair, enterprising miscreants can sell stolen goods, accept criminal bounties, purchase exclusive new weapons, and lower suspicion levels as needed. Community Update 7 also includes a rework to Wartales’ Prisoner system, allowing for greater control over captives at camp and in combat. New features include a dedicated Prisoner skill tree, desires based on each prisoner’s personalized traits, an overhaul to prisoner needs and trust systems, as well as hidden objectives that can be uncovered to affect a given prisoner’s trust level.

Additional improvements to combat and character management allow for a more streamlined experience both in and out of battle. Community Update 7 introduces a new “End Round” button that automatically skips the turn of mercenaries who have not yet acted and can be canceled at any time. A character sheet redesign improves readability by dividing information across three tabs containing details about core stats and other character information, relationships, and special secondary classes. 

Additional tweaks and improvements featured in Community Update 7 include:

• Three new armor sets to buy – or steal – from wandering merchants
• Six new battle maps across Alazar, Harag, Gosenberg and Edoran
• Personal mercenary quests for individual characters
• Numerous QoL improvements and bug fixes

“The new features and improvements included in Community Update 7 represent not only a substantial update to Wartales, but a reflection of our ongoing commitment to listening and engaging with player feedback,” said Quentin Lapeyre, Game Director at Shiro Games. “New additions like The Lair and overhauled Prisoner System allow both new and returning players to sink their teeth into a wealth of new content.”

Wartales’ Community Update 7 will launch on Monday, September 7 as a free download to all players. An open beta begins today, allowing eager adventurers an opportunity to go hands-on with the update and provide feedback.
