Wccftech reports that Frogwares plans a Kickstarter campaign for The Sinking City 2:

The Sinking City 2 Goes to Kickstarter Soon as Frogwares Needs a Safety Net from the War

Yesterday, Ukrainian developer Frogwares delivered one of the best surprises of the Xbox Partner Showcase with the announcement of The Sinking City 2.

In a press release sent after the reveal, Frogwares clarified there will be a Kickstarter campaign for the sequel, just like for their previous game (Sherlock Holmes The Awakened), and it's all due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. CEO Wael Amr explained:

At this stage, we have learned and adapted to our reality but the ongoing war adds an ominous layer of uncertainty, and the additional funds will help us deal with potential disruptions on top of helping fund various extra features we would love to implement. Our previous game, Sherlock Holmes The Awakened, was fully developed and released during the war. Through Kickstarter and our supporters, we built ourselves a safety net that saved us more than once. From power cuts as our electrical infrastructure was targeted for months to the need for team members to relocate at very short notice, this financial safety net proved invaluable to us. So we need to do the same now with The Sinking City 2 as this game is vastly bigger and more complex.
