Sunless Sea, the Kickstarter-funded nautical adventurer from developer Failbetter Games, will make its PlayStation 4 debut at some point this year.

The game originally arrived on PC back in 2015 and is set within the confines of the Fallen London universe, a browser game also developed by Failbetter. Here, the entirety of Victorian-era London has vanished underground and is now surrounded by a massive subterranean ocean known as the Unterzee.

As a steamship captain working around the Unterzee, players find themselves getting into all sorts of shenanigans, including trading, unearthing new locations, scrapping with fellow ships and sea-dwelling creatures, all in an attempt to reach your chosen ambition. 

Sunless Sea mixes the thrill of exploration with a pinch of roguelike sensibilities, with permadeath and partially randomised maps keeping you on your toes. 

Storylet quests are your main attraction however, and the included Zubmariner expansion gives you the ability to explore the depths of the Unterzee itself where new horrors await. 

Sunless Sea: Zubmariner Edition has yet to attract a firm release on PS4, but we'll keep you posted.
