This is one of the biggest discounts ever seen on the eShop. Released in 2019, the game The Sinking City is currently offered at €5 instead of €65 in its Deluxe version. A reduction of 92% which is already making waves among Nintendo Switch fans, all generations combined (Lite, OLED, etc.). “A 92% discount valid until February 10, 2026.”
The offer only concerns this dematerialized version, and no port for the future Switch 2 has been announced. If you own a current console, this is probably your only chance to explore Oakmont at a discounted price before the arrival of the sequel, scheduled for the first half of 2026.
A supernatural investigation game and its exclusive DLCs
Developed by the French studio Frogwares, The Sinking City is an open-world investigation game, strongly inspired by the universe of HP Lovecraft. We play a private detective launched into a paranormal investigation in a city engulfed by water and nightmares.
The Deluxe edition currently on sale is particularly generous. “This version includes The Worshippers of the Necronomicon DLC, which consists of three side quests, as well as the Nintendo Switch-exclusive DLC Merciful Madness, which also features three bonus side quests.”
This additional content enriches an already dense adventure, with moral choices that influence progression, and a sound ambiance crafted to the millimeter.
A sequel on the way and a solid lifespan
The offer is timely, since The Sinking City will be entitled to a sequel very soon. “The Sinking City debuted in 2019 as a brand new intellectual property, and it was so successful that a sequel was announced.”
Even if the Switch 2 version is not yet confirmed, early players can already immerse themselves in the world of the game at a lower cost. Also a way to prepare for the sequel while rediscovering the original.
And in terms of lifespan? “Those who take advantage of this deal on Nintendo eShop can expect to spend an average of 20-25 hours playing the game.”
A rare opportunity for fans of paranormal investigations
Promotions of this magnitude are rare, especially for an edition including so much content. Although the game received mixed reviews upon release (between 61 and 77 on Metacritic), it maintains a loyal community.
Those who like heavy atmospheres, psychological horror stories and deep mysteries will find here a playground that is as intriguing as it is immersive. And for five euros, the appeal of the town of Oakmont becomes difficult to ignore.
