Former Journey devs reveal PS4 game Abzu

A beautiful underwater adventure.

Two former Journey developers - art director Matt Nava and composer Austin Wintory - have revealed their new PS4 game Abzu on Sony's E3 stage.

It's a beautiful, almost cartoony underwater adventure that has you swimming peacefully with a shiver of sharks and a pod of whales - blue whales, no less.

You play as a kind of humanoid character that looks a like a diver, although it's not entirely clear if you're human or not. Nava and Wintory's studio is called Giant Squid, and Abzu will make its exclusive console debut on PS4, Sony said.
