Abuz is the brainchild of Matt Nava, the developer who gave us likes of games such as Journey and Flower 2. Abzu is about exploring the in-game’s enormous and intriguing underwater landscape. Players don the role of a young woman decked in a scuba diving gear. Their task is to solve puzzles and soak-in the wealth of breaktaking sights in the game’s underwater universe. As you descend into the heart of the ocean, players come across breathtaking sights of ruins and remains of ancient civilizations, along with a huge variety of fishes.

The game’s debut trailer which can be seen above, highlights the game ‘s mesemrizing underater world. 505 games has also confirmed that Abzu for the Switch will offer the same great experience as it does on other platforms. All in all, it’ll be an underwater trip worth diving into.

“Dive into a majestic underwater adventure! From the artistic mind behind Journey and Flower, Abzu is a beautiful underwater adventure that evokes the dream of diving. Immerse yourself in a vibrant ocean world full of mystery and bursting with color and life. Perform fluid acrobatics as the Diver, using graceful swimming controls. Discover hundreds of unique species based on real creatures and form a powerful connection with the abundant sea life. Interact with schools of thousands of fish that procedurally respond to you, each other, and predators. Linger in epic seascapes and explore aquatic ecosystems modeled with unprecedented detail. Descend into the heart of the ocean where ancient secrets lie forgotten. But beware, dangers lurk in the depths,’ explains the game’s official page.

To recall, Abzu was originally released for the PS4 and Windows back in early 2016, followed by its release on Xbox later that year. Now, the game will finally arrive on the Nintendo Switch console starting November 29.
