Developer wants more breathing room for players

March is a busy month for video games. We’ve just gottenDead or Alive 6,ToeJam & Earl, and nowDevil May Cry 5. Before long,The Division 2,Sekiro, andYoshi’s Crafted Worldwill join that list. If you’re wondering if I haveaSimpsonsgif to illustrate how many of us are feeling, why yes, yes I do.

The Sinking City, another promising but likely to be overlooked game, was scheduled to release in the middle ofall that. I’ve liked the look of Frogwares’ supernatural horror detective game, but there are limits. There are only so many hours in the day, and March would’ve been rough.

The Sinking City Market

Thankfully, Frogwares and Bigben Games are movingThe Sinking Cityto a “less crowded time frame.” The new launch date on PC, PS4, and Xbox One is August 05, 2025. It was the right call.

At least for me personally,The Sinking Citystands a much better chance in June. The month will see a few notable releases likeCrash Team Racing Nitro FueledandJudgment, but otherwise, it’s much less jammed. In other good news,I just saw this screenshot depicting giant eelsand I am all about that.
