This time, players are an undead wizard exploring a desert where the dunes flow like water, and there&#8217;s magicking to be done to restore the ocean (and accompanying greenery) to its rightful place. And where there&#8217;s waves, there&#8217;s the chance to do radical 1080s, especially when you&#8217;re riding a giant magical sword as a surfboard. Have a peek at some of the vistas in the date announcement trailer below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i4It2znTQqY\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard not to draw comparisons to similarly styled mystical desert trekking (and occasionally sand-surfing) adventure Journey, which it shares some development talent with. From what the team&#8217;s shown, it feels like Sword of the Sea is going to be a bit more action-focused.<\/p>\n<p>While Giant Squid hasn&#8217;t shown any scoring systems or other Tony Hawk-inspired wackiness to incentivize it, there are all kinds of flips, twists and tricks you can do on your magical surfboard-sword. The trailer also shows some fun-looking traversal, including ceiling-riding on full-pipes, bouncing across giant flying jellyfish and grinding across massive chains.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike The Pathless, there&#8217;s been no combat shown in the footage so far, although there are some menacing looking big creatures, so I&#8217;m expecting at least one big set piece where you get to surf along the back of a town-sized monster. In fact, I&#8217;ll be disappointed if I don&#8217;t get one. You can&#8217;t give me a magical surf-sword and not provide that kind of wish fulfillment. At least the trailer does confirm one important point: You can pet the magical flying dolphins, and there&#8217;s bigger critters to find. Will we be able to kickflip over a whale to assert dominance? Only time will tell, but I&#8217;m hoping.<\/p>\n<p>Sword of the Sea launches on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2453160\/Sword_of_the_Sea\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steam<\/a> and Epic on August 19th.
