Giant Squid has announced that it's latest game, Sword of the Sea, will come
to PlayStation 5 and PC on August 19. It'll also appear on PlayStation Plus
from day one for Extra and Premium Subscribers. The fantasy adventure game
marries surfing mechanics with the atmospherics of the developer's previous
games like Abz├╗ and Journey.

Giant Squid showed off more gameplay in a new trailer as part of
PlayStation's June 4 State of Play. "At its core, Sword of the Sea is all
about surfing," the developer wrote. "YouΓÇÖll be carving your way across
mysterious moving waves of sand on the ancient and powerful hoversword."
Other scenarios include dreamy ice-scapes and oceans full of flying dolphins.


Giant Squid again teamed with creative director Matt Nava and composer Austin
Wintory, who also worked on Abz├╗ and Pathless. "As a surfer and snowboarder
myself, I have felt the rush of movement and seen the beauty of nature in a
way that only these extreme sports can deliver," Nava wrote about Sword of
the Sea.
