In a small amount of good news for achievement hunters, it looks like the Xbox Series X|S version of the game offers up a second stack of achievements. It seems the office has been attacked by the Ku Klux Klan, who hate the Innsmouthers that the EOD work with. You can also experience new quests in the latest DLC pack, Merciful Madness, which may be a great time to put those new visuals to the test. The new optimisation features bring 4K/60fps, increased graphical fidelity, and faster load times. If all of that hasn’t scared you away, the Xbox Series X|S enhanced version of the game can currently be purchased as a digital upgrade.
#THE SINKING CITY NOSEDIVE UPGRADE#
It’s all quite a nightmare, and due to the disputes between the two companies, The Sinking City for Xbox Series X|S consoles - now published by Frogwares directly - consumers are literally paying the price because the upgrade cannot be offered freely. This guide is written as a wiki format, so please feel free to edit this guide as needed. The game was originally published on Xbox One by Nacon, which according to developer Frogwares, attempted to claim copyright of The Sinking City after it was released, withheld milestone payments, and owed Frogwares royalties equating to around €1 million. This guide covers all aspects of The Sinking City including the main story and achievements/trophies.
Reed’s story is pretty fitting for the game’s developer Frogwares (thanks, Eurogamer), which has been in legal disputes for quite a while with The Sinking City’s previous publisher, Nacon (formerly, Bigben Interactive). Meet with Ebernote Blackwood at the Reed Heights. Oh, it also features an appearance by the KKK. The city is full of supernatural horrors, and in an unlucky turn of events, Reed is thrust into this dark underworld. The Sinking City’s fifth main case involves the creepy Ebernote Blackwood.
Reed is tormented by dark visions, and in an attempt to escape his waking nightmare he heads to Oakmont, Massachusetts. Frogwares' 1920s investigation title, The Sinking City, embroils players in the dark world of Charles Reed, a private investigator.
