Frogwares acknowledges that The Sinking City has sold more than its previous titles in the same time frames. They are already working on their next project.
The Sinking City "has been a success" for Frogwares. This was expressed by his communication manager, Sergey Oganesyan, in an interview with the Wccftech portal. Although he cannot offer exact data, he admits that he has sold better than his last works with the Sherlock Holmes saga.
This first year on the market will still leave some news about it, at least in its PC version. The exclusivity with the Epic Games Store will end sometime in 2020. An agreement that, according to Sergey, was necessary: “We would not have accepted the terms if it had not been crucial for the study. This agreement with Epic Games allowed us to continue doing what we love, niche detective games, but it also prepared us for the future. ” Its arrival on Steam could give a new boost to its sales.
They also do not rule out a possible arrival at Google Stadia, given its business model. “Any platform that is interested in our games and properties is interesting to us. His model is one of the ways for independent studios like us to be profitable, "he says. Currently PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch already have the game.
New job
As for the future, he acknowledges that the team is already developing its next project. Although it cannot reveal what license it is, it will "fit" with the profile that Frogwares has drawn since its inception. Their goal continues to be to create “the definitive open world detective experience”, although the feedback they have received all these years has helped them sharpen their aim. "In an age when you routinely see complaints about 'the fatigue of open worlds', we are more receptive to the idea of quality over quantity," he concludes.
