game news This PlayStation Showcase surprise looks like two drops of water from that cult video game, and it’s no wonder!
Last night’s PlayStation Showcase was packed with various game announcements. Of course we were spoiled with blockbusters, but also with independent and deliberately poetic titles. Like the sword of the sea.
Patience is a sea of virtues
Between the explosive gameplay sequence of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the resounding announcement of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (the remake of MGS 3) or Capcom’s big action RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2 – AAA Productions has been in the spotlight, yes , but not only. We were also treated to the unveiling of many independent games such as Sword of the Sea, a title that deserves your full attention.
Ocean and desert as far as the eye can see, shiny textures, mystical character and surfing on a sword (why not) accompanied by captivating music: The journey promises to be ultra-exotic and eye-catching. Above all, it is unmistakably reminiscent of JourneyIconic title by thatgamecompagny, first released on PS3 in 2012. And not for nothing.
A Frank Ocean soundtrack?
If Sword of the Sea looks like Journey 2, that’s because development is being led by Giant Squid, the talented studio behind the atmospheric Abzû (which was already exploring the seabed) and The Pathless. Two critically acclaimed games, precisely controlled by the former artistic director of thatgamecompagny, to whom we owe Journey (as well as flOw and Flower). So everything is explained.
If you want a bit of context, Matt Nava (leader of the project) was right to comment on the PlayStation Blog. in the sword of the sea, We play as Wraith, a resurrected character whose mission will be to restore the world to its former glory and take it from the desert to the sea.
For this, It will come equipped with a hoverboard, which is sort of a cross between a snowboard, a skateboard, and a hoverboard. We can slide on sand and water, do tricks and explore the necropolis of the gods to find ancient ruins… not to mention the leviathans, creatures that we must escape from.
A frankly seductive program whose release date has not yet been announced: On the other hand We know the game is planned for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.
