'Abzû' is a new underwater adventure game that allows users to wander the ocean floor and commune with nature. Abzû is produced by game development house 'Giant Squid' and recently premiered at Sony's E3 2015 press conference. The goal of the game is to provide players with a fully immersive underwater experience.
The game is designed around exploring the protagonist's relationship with sea life, offering different puzzles and challenges as you uncover the different underwater environments. While the Abzû is still in its pre-alpha state, some of the features of the game include swimming with schools of fish, riding on the backs of sea turtles and operating aquatic drones.
Unfortunately the underwater adventure game is still in the process of development, but game developers promise that the final product will provide players with a totally immersive underwater experience.
