After teasing the port last week, developer Out of the Blue has now confirmed that Call of the Sea will indeed be coming to PlayStation systems. It's scheduled to release at some point next month for both PS5 and PS4, but the studio has not locked down a specific day just yet. Confirmed on Twitter, the post simply reads: "We are excited to announce that Call of the Sea is coming to PS4 and PS5 in May 2021!" The port comes about five months after the game's original release on PC and Xbox platforms, where it garnered quite favourable reviews.
Set in the 1930s, a beautiful island in the South Pacific plays host to protagonist Norah's quest to find her husband's expedition. The story-driven adventure is largely puzzle-based. When it first came to Xbox Series X, Eurogamer awarded it a Recommended rating and concluded: "Call of the Sea dazzles by being different. A bigger game would never be this weird. A bigger game would never tell a story of love and self-discovery in this way, and do it without resorting to violence, and, though it pains me to say it, tell it about a woman. It's that independence which made Call of the Sea stand out during the Xbox Series X showcase and what makes it stand out now."
So, we don't have an exact date just yet, but Call of the Sea will now be coming to PS5 and PS4 next month. Good stuff. Are you interested in taking a look? Let us know in the comments below.

I really should play this. I think I actually have it installed on my PC.
I recommend it! It's a cool story and is up there with games like Myst.
Though, truth be told, I probably wouldn't have given it a chance if it didn't hit Game Pass.
I also played this via Xbox Game Pass last year and it's fairly nice.
Potential PS+ game for May?
@LiamCroft missed a golden opportunity for a 'Get in the Sea' article subheading
I finished this on Xbox, it's quite a good game.
Be keen to give this a run out, wonder if it'll be May's Plus game??
Just seen this on Xbox Game Pass. Think I'll download it right now.
I also played this game on. My Sega genesis.it was amazing🤔.word up son
Bugsnax already did this.... at the same time...
I'd say skip it. This game is okay at best. 6/10. I recommend What Remains of Edith Finch or The Unfinished Swan instead.
Great voice cast too with Cissy Jones (Delilah from Firewatch) and Yuri Lowenthal (Spider-Man, Prince of Persia). It looks beautiful.
Fun little puzzle game. A few decent challenges in there, but nothing that isn’t doable.
didn't even know about this game, looks fun, will get it for sure.
Looks cool, glad it's finally coming to PlayStation.
