Submerged announced for PS4

Submerged

Australian developers Uppercut Studios have announced that Submerged an exploration, adventure game will be released for PS4 sometime this year. Designer Ed Orman jovially greeted his fans before going to speak a bit about this upcoming title.

“Submerged is a serene adventure set in a city that has mysteriously become flooded and overgrown. It follows the story of siblings Miku and Taku – the pair arrive in this strange place in a boat, and Miku has to carry her wounded brother Taku to shelter before she can start gathering the supplies she’ll need to nurse him back to health.”

Players will take control of Miku as she explores the mysterious city she and her brother have come to. She has this unique ability that allows her to scale building and uncover supply caches. Her boat and telescope help her explore this city. Submerged is a game where the players are allowed to let their curiosity take control and the game has no failure states. This allows for free exploration of the world.

With graphics created in Unreal Engine 4 and a score provided by BAFTA award-winning composer Jeff Van Dyck (Total War series, Alien: Isolation), Submerged looks like it is shaping up to be an immersive, mysterious game.

There is no confirmation regarding the release date, however, the Upper Cut games development blog suggests Submerged will be a digital title distributed across all the major stores. Upper Cut games have been publishing mobile games as a studio till date so; it will be interesting to see how this venture turns out.
