Sword of the Sea

Summary

Sword of the Sea is an action-adventure title created by Giant Squid, the team responsible for Abzû and The Pathless. Taking place across an expansive desert environment, players take on the role of the Wraith, journeying through ancient ruins and discovering a forgotten civilization. Gameplay revolves around the "Hoversword," a unique device that blends elements of surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. The experience focuses on smooth movement, immersive exploration, and subtle puzzle challenges.

Storyline

In a world where the land undulates like waves, mount the Hoversword and glide across ever-changing seas of sand. Its controls blend the feel of snowboarding, skateboarding, and hoverboarding into one seamless experience. Gain speed to reach incredible velocities and launch into the air as you traverse ancient, skatepark-style ruins buried in the shifting tides of the Necropolis of the Gods. The Hoversword captures the essence of snowboarding and skating games, reimagined in a fresh and thrilling adventure. You are the Wraith—reborn in a barren world, charged with reviving life as you journey through flooded ruins and encounter the rich, diverse cultures hidden within. Ride through collapsing tombs, enigmatic shipwrecks, and fossilized battlefields, awakening vast schools of fish and creatures along the way. But be cautious—this realm is also guarded by colossal leviathans determined to stop you.
