ABZÛ is now available for Nintendo Switch

Today Independent publisher 505 Games and developer Giant Squid have announced their award-winning inspirational aquatic journey ABZÛ is now available for Nintendo Switch.

Lets hope you guys like water because there is a lot of it in this game, its all about exploring the beautiful ocean world full of mistery and color. You can play as “The Diver” and discover many unique oceanic creatures based on real creatures but be careful because the ocean can be dangerous, broken and toxic. You need to explore this ocean to unlock all of his mysteries and change the world around you for the better.

Check out the Trailer:

Developed by Giant Squid Studios – led by Matt Nava, the artistic mind behind Journey® and Flower® – and featuring a score by Grammy-nominated and two-time BAFTA-winning composer Austin Wintory, ABZÛ is told in the form of mythology and folklore, while capturing the dream-like feeling of underwater exploration. The name is derived from ancient Sumerian language; AB, meaning water, and ZÛ, meaning to know: ABZÛ is the ocean of wisdom.

First launched in 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, ABZÛ was lauded by critics and garnered numerous awards and nominations including Best Original Score for a Video Game or Interactive Media from the International Film Music Critics Association (winner), Artistic Achievement from the 2017 BAFTA British Academy Games Awards, Music of the Year from the 2017 Game Audio Network Awards (winner), Best Original Game from the 2016 Joystick Awards and Best Art Direction from the 2016 Game Awards.
