Consider the gameJourneyfrom Thatgamecomany for example.
A big reason is thatSword of the Seais being developed by videogame development studio, Giant Squid.
So, keep reading to find out what it’s all about.
What is Sword of the Sea?
But beware- this land is also home to massive leviathans that will stand in your way.
But, can Wraith, a mysterious figure with a hoversword, be that hero?
Guess we’ll just have to wait to find out.
Gameplay
The hoversword we see Wraith riding is the most notable gameplay highlight inSword of the Sea.
According to Matt Nava, the gameplay feature is a brand-new movement mechanic: the Hoversword.
The Hoversword controls like a snowboard, skateboard, and hoverboard all in one.
With this new gameplay mechanic, players can build massive amounts of momentum.
They can then use this to explore, traverse, and tear up the wave-like terrain and skatepark-like ruins.
So, it’s got to have some external use other than shredding up the sand dunes.
But, we’ll just have to wait to find out exactly how that works.
Our goal is to create games that fulfill that potential.
They’ve already accomplished this with their previous titles,AbzuandPathless.
Trailer

So, there’s no telling when it will release.
However, we have high hopes it will be before the end of the year.
What we do know is that the game will release on PlayStation 5 consoles and on PC via Steam.
Furthermore, the title is unlikely to have more than one edition.
After all, the best art is a one-of-a-kind, priceless piece.
And that seems to be the case withSword of the Sea.
