Key features

Why you should play Sword of the Sea

Surf the world

Carve your way forward on the ancient and powerful Hoversword, which moves like a snowboard, skateboard and surfboard all in one. Build momentum to reach top speed and catch big air to pull off radical flips, spins and grab tricks with ease.

A unique environment

Explore a world where the land flows in constant waves. From massive tides to the smallest ripples, the shifting sea of dunes is incredibly detailed and beautifully rendered. Surf across sandy deserts, glacial mountains and many more undulating environments full of secrets.

A spiritual journey

Discover the remnants of a lost culture hidden in sinking tombs and skatepark-like ruins as you search for purpose. Transform sandy dunes into glittering, emerald waters and witness magical sealife return in huge, breathtaking shoals.

Discover more unique, innovative experiences from independent developers, out now or coming soon for PS4 and PS5.
