Announced in May 2023, Giant Squid’s Sword of the Sea re-emerged at the latest State of Play, and best of all, it has a release date. Launching on August 19th, the surreal adventure title is coming to PS5 (with PS5 Pro support) and PC. It will also launch on day one for PlayStation Plus. Check out some fresh gameplay below.
As previously announced, players explore a mysterious region with expansive deserts to find the buried sea. You’ll traverse it with a Hoversword, which skates across water and sand with ease (while also somehow wall-riding and grinding on rails). The goal is to ultimately free the water while learning more about a lost civilization, though it seems a mysterious threat lurks deep within.
However, the journey is equally relaxing, especially as you chain together tricks. They could provide a burst of speed, not unlike a similar system from The Pathless. Stay tuned for more gameplay from Sword of the Sea ahead of its release.
