Remember Never Alone, that little game about Native Alaskan folklore from a few years ago? The team behind the snowy puzzle platformer has returned, and its latest game swaps the tundra for the seas in Beyond Blue.
It looks a little like a more realistic ABZÛ, but the truth is that this game is a fair amount more involved than that. You play as a scientist in charge of a research team, aiming to uncover the secrets of the deep. Beyond Blue will have a story to play through as you explore the salty waters in search of weird and wonderful lifeforms. The game also features a resource management element, as you'll have to pick and choose which missions to carry out given your current status.

E-Line Media collaborated with Native Alaskans to inform Never Alone, and it's taking a similar approach with Beyond Blue. Working with ocean experts, Beyond Blue is aiming to deliver a relatively authentic underwater adventure. The BBC is also onboard, providing unseen footage from its excellent documentary series, Blue Planet II, which you'll be able to unlock. The game is heading to PS4 in 2019.
Are you interested in Beyond Blue? Take a deep breath and dive into the comments below.

Quite like the look of this!
Looks great. Not sure about the TRON diver suit. Interested to find out more about how deep this game is and the progression structure.
Looks a bit fishy to me
This looks great, will be interested to find out more.
Could be good, seems a good fit for VR.
@LieutenantFatman. Absolutely
I hope it similar to endless ocean. That was such a relaxing game after a busy day at work.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Endless Ocean was very good and I hoped to play a new episode on WiiU since the gamepad would have been a perfect underwater camera...
I've wanted to play Abzu for ages but keep waiting and hoping it shows up on Plus, seeing as the US had it on there ages ago. This looks similar, maybe more interesting though, especially if it has BBC backing.
I loved both endless ocean’s on the Wii! This game looks awesome. On my list to buy as soon as it comes out.
Whale I’ll be
I will be supporting this one.
Not something I would want to play although would probably give it a go if it was on PS+. Its good that they are making an educational game about saving the oceans - which has been big news of late and hopefully has a long lasting impact on the youth of today who will be more conscientious about plastics and the dangers to marine life.
I loved the Blue Planet series too so it would be nice to see some new scenes. Visually it looks good too but its not something I would actively seek out to play myself.
I looked up BBC it just a bunch of long dark wieners
Wow yes please!!! Never Alone was fantastic!! Really need a release window for Subnautica too I'm soo keen to play that
Awesome! Ill def get this. Im totally infacuated by the ocean though its also my biggest fear lol. Like aliens!
Also really liked never alone!
Woah this looks amazing !
Looks great,I hope there is a first person option - And it doesn't go off in the deep-end about climate change nonsense..Not sure if i should hold my breath or not..Sorry..
