If you'd forgotten all about Away: The Survival Series, we wouldn't blame you. This interesting game was announced all the way back at a State of Play in 2019, and since then, we've not heard a great deal about it. However, the title is very much still alive, and more than that, it's now coming to PlayStation 5 as well as PS4.
The pitch here is a game that plays out like a sort of interactive nature documentary. Playing as a sugar glider, you'll initially be swooping through the forest, searching for sustenance and avoiding dangerous predators. You'll also be able to play as various other creatures, such as a praying mantis, salamander, frog, spider, and more.
While you play, the game is narrated as if it's a televised documentary — it'll tell you all about the animals and plant life you discover while you play, which is pretty cool. There's also a photo mode, so you can try and grab some gorgeous nature shots as well.
There's no firm release date yet, but it is scheduled in for "late summer", so it can't be too far away now. There's a little more info on the PlayStation Blog if you're interested. Will you be playing Away: The Survival Series? Glide into the comments section below.

Yeah, but is it narrated by David Attenborough?
This sounds really cool, actually. Anything that gets kids, or anyone, interested in the amazing world outside of our devices sounds good to me. (No, the irony of this comment is not lost on me 😬)
Interesting.
The original trailer looked incredible and I was super hyped.
The second reveal looked like garbage and I lost all interest.
So hyped after the second reveal. Looks totes amazing!
Might be a decent ps plus game because of the nature (no pun intended) of the game.
It'd get to more kids as a result.
Cool concept.
I'd really love a nature photography game. It could be awesome with modern graphics. I remember there was one set in Africa on the ps3 but I never bought it.
@MetalGear_Yoshi z You're absolutely right! I had Afrika for the PS3 and it was really neat. The controls were a tad sluggish, but riding around and taking photos of animals was a good time.
Cool. Hopefully they put in some news about how habitats are doing. I've been reading up on some via TreeApp (plant a tree a day by watching a 20 second add of some description, usually green stuff) and it's been good to hear, you hear about the destruction but also what we're hoping to achieve and such. Switching to more eco friendly stuff feels even better now fo sho.
This looks and sounds super cool. Excited to learn more!
Should have played Wander, that was a nature marvel. Wind, trees, birds, sea. I was one of the lucky people to have bought that game on release date.
Oh wait, no, I was one of the unlucky people that actually bought the game.
I'd really love a great nature game to play. Very interested in this
Yep, this could be really cool. One to keep an eye on.
