Developer Arika and Nintendo have released a new trailer for the upcoming Endless Ocean Luminous, this time around providing an overview of the title’s gameplay mechanics that players will experience as they swim through and explore the game’s titular endless ocean. Check out the latest trailer below.
Endless Ocean Luminous is meant to be a relaxing game where players can hang out underwater with their friends and other divers. The game features a vast ocean that changes every time players dive, with environments ranging from glacial waters to steep outcrops, to even pitch-black depths.
Throughout their time in the Veiled Sea, players will be able to encounter more than 500 different species of marine life. Players will have to gather light created by bio-luminescent algae, revealing the marine life’s form. The game also features ancient creatures and deep-sea life. Details on the marine life encountered by players can be checked out through an in-game log.
On the multiplayer side of things, players will be able to partake in dives with up to 30 players, which can be a mix of friends and other online divers. Players can also encounter new divers throughout their sessions and opt to become dive buddies, which helps players share discoveries with each other.
Endless Ocean Luminous is slated for release on May 2, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
