The intellectual property would still belong to Frogwares, which has always been the only producer and owner of its games, including The Sinking City. In exchange for a financial contribution to the development, we gave them the right to sell and commercialize the game on 4 platforms – Xbox One, PS4, Steam and later, Epic Games Store. In 2017 we signed The Sinking City contract as a licensing agreement with BigBen/Nacon, 2 years after the start of production. Since the release of The Sinking City on Jwe’ve been involved in legal battles with BigBen Interactive/Nacon over the title. The following information contained in this letter is part of court proceedings, meaning that the information is now public and confidentiality rules do not apply anymore. We urge you to read this open letter to our fans, journalists and people of the industry, to understand why this is happening and how you can still get The Sinking City. Short version: We were forced to terminate the contract with our licensee for several breaches of our agreement. The reason is a bit complicated, yet at the same time, quite simple. We have received multiple emails and messages on this issue. This update is currently only available on consoles, with the PC patch to follow at a later time.įrogwares was also recently in the news calling out its previous publisher, Focus Home Interactive, for not coming to terms on publishing agreements and getting many Frogwares games delisted as a result.As some of you have noticed, The Sinking City has been taken down from Steam and many other notable stores.
