Fans of TV show Lost should be all over this one. Stranded Deep is a first-person survival simulator which tasks you with surviving on a tropical island in the Pacific Ocean and eventually escaping it as you hunt for food and shelter. We don't think it will delve into the supernatural quite as much as the plights of Jack Shephard, but still, this looks like it could be an interesting experience. What's more, it releases tomorrow on PlayStation 4.
Sam Edwards and Ben Massey, co-founders of Beam Team Games, took to the PlayStation Blog to describe the delight of seeing their first console game come to life. "We’ve been working on this game for over 5 years now, a couple of guys out of Brisbane that had jobs in other industries before, but we loved games and we wanted to build something we thought would be fun and people would like to play."
You'll encounter sharks, gigantic squids and other creatures in the ocean while the list of threats doesn't shorten on land. Wild boars, snakes, and other members of the animal kingdom have been added to the game to make for some pretty intense encounters. This new console version actually allows you to complete the game and escape the desert island -- a first for the title.
Stranded Deep was actually announced for PS4 back in 2018, but the developer ran into trouble when its publisher, Telltale Publishing, went out of business. As a result, Beam Team Games has put the game out itself. "Following their closure, we bought back the console rights so that we could publish it ourselves, along with the support of industry friends and the community."

I remember seeing gameplay for this game a long time ago.
It would be terrifying in VR.
Do you know the price? That would be great thanks.
@ItsMeAli The PlayStation Blog doesn't mention a price, but it's selling for £10.99/$14.99 on PC. It'll probably cost the same on PS4.
Wow, I bought this early access years and years ago. Can’t believe they’ve finally finished it sorta.
Looks good, this would be great in vr. Might be picking this up depending on the price
@LiamCroft
Cheers ,here's hoping but have a feeling it will be £19.99
Brilliant news "The long dark" and "The forest" are brilliant survival console games fingers crossed "Stranded deep" does not dissapoint.
This looks interesting, I'll play it if it's good
@TrueAssassin86x Will never ever happen.
Will buy this tomorrow on Xbox One but doubt it’ll be £10.99, PC versions are always cheaper than console so I agree with @suikoden that it’ll be £19.99.
Where’s Wilson? 😉
I was disappointed when Telltale went under and didnt publish this. Good to here it's still coming.
@Nightcrawler71 It would be great if he was put in the game as an easter egg and even better as an unlockable Trophy/Achievement upon finding him.
Edit: Wilson is actually in the game! I just saw him from PureXbox’s article on the game, he’s in a trailer on PlayStation’s Twitter account, he’s on at 0.34 blink and you’ll miss him. There’s skeletal remains behind Wilson, presumably Chuck Nolan’s? Game must be in set in an alternate universe as those of us who have seen Castaway know how it ends.
Awesome premise (though it seems more like Robinson Crusoe or Cast Away than Lost). Looking forward to the reviews!
Will there be Co-op?
going to grab this definitely!!
So any word on a physical release?
Cool, hope it's good because I wanna play it!
SO SOOO excited!!
Just hope it turns out and that the game play isnt as much a chore as its real life counterpart
Now you can self-isolate whilst playing a game with extreme self-isolation. Very meta
Been waiting on this for a long time. Will be picking up tomorrow regardless of price.
Looks interesting. Would love to see this with co-op.
It's literally Castaway: The Video Game. Just needed Tom Hanks to do the voice acting and you'd be set.
Just bought it now and will play this evening. Excited!! 😎
Looks pretty interesting. Depending on the price I will probably get this at some point. Seems a nice change of pace from the regular games I play (racing things and shooting things usually, allthough some elite dangerous here and there too)
Shame this isn't multiplayer, or i might of given it a shot. Same reason I didn't play subnautica.
There's only a few survival games, at least top end graphical ones worth the time of day and that's Ark and Conan probably.... At least on PS4 I'm talking about.
Don't buy if you play inverted y-axis. There is no option.
I've just wasted my money.
I’ll be picking this up also might grab ancestors as it's currently on sale too
At the moment this is a bit of a buggy mess.. at least on PS4 base model. The longer I played the more glitchy it became, the audio also went crazy. I’m sure they fix it but just a heads up to anyone who was excited about jumping right in.
Edit: They just released an update, installing now.
@Grindagger You should try The Forest, it’s multiplayer and a much better survival game than either Ark or Conan IMO.
@Breekhead thanks for the updates dude
@BamBamBaklava89 No worries man! I’ve played for a while after updating and it seems to be working well now. Great job by the developers. Now to just get used to the controls.
@Mpquikster Doesn’t seem to be an option yet. They give you 3 different control schemes but non of them seem to affect the movement controls.
I've bought it today. Yay! 😁 Arout £15 it was. Streamed it asap on my channel (Horizon Rover) and... It was my horror to find out it has no Y axis inversion. Whyyy? I can't play it like that... What a lame livestream 😂
So its playing well, all is good? I should press the buy now button??
@YepYepYep
Thanks for mentioning this. I was about to buy this but i cant aim anything without inverted Y-axis since it was invented hopefully they'll fix it with the future patch
