Insomniac has announced Song of the Deep, a metroidvania-style action adventure game following a young girl’s quest to find her missing father.
The game was announced alongside the trailer below and is coming this summer to PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Brian Hastings, chief creative officer at Insomniac Games explains more about the game over on the Xbox Wire blog, and how the game’s protagonist Merryn has a heroism which comes from inside, “one who was only heroic because of her character”.
“Her journey in Song of the Deep is about courage and discovery in a haunting and lonely world,” says Hastings. “It’s a journey of love and heartbreak. It’s a story about who we are and what we care about. It’s also about what it means to be heroic and how we sometimes lose sight of the best qualities about ourselves.
“And if you don’t care about any of that stuff, that’s totally cool. You’ll get to pilot a submarine through a beautiful and deadly undersea world that’s full of challenging action and puzzles. There’s a deep progression of abilities and upgrades that you’ll need to master in order to survive. You’ll explore a vast Metroidvania environment, both with your submarine and free-diving.”
