In the announcement post for the PlayStation Blog, Giant Squid creative director Matt Nava introduced the skatepark-like ruins of the Necropolis of the Gods, explored by protagonist The Wraith. The player character, resurrected in a desolate world and tasked with restoring life, wields a Hoversword, controlling like a snowboard, skateboard, and hoverboard.
The deluxe double vinyl soundtrack, published by Laced Records, ships from Norman Records. The two heavyweight vinyl LPs contain 14 tracks from the Grammy Award-winning score, with original artwork by Elaine Lee.
The Original Soundtrack Album is hosted on Bandcamp, with streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music Unlimited, featuring the London Voices choral ensemble and Phoenix Boys Choir. Soloists featured on the album include Kristin Naigus on flute, oboe and clarinet, Tina Guo on cello, vocalist Malukah, Paul Cartwright on violin and viola, and Tom Strahle on electric guitar, electric basses, and mandolin.
Sword of the Sea for PlayStation 5 is part of the PlayStation Plus Extra game catalog. The Windows PC edition is available via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
From the Nintendo product page:
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 off the crests of giant waves. Pull off radical flips, spins, and grab tricks with ease as you shred halfpipes, ramps, and wall rides. It’s the perfect balance of exhilarating action and fluid, meditative movement.Norman Records - Sword of the Sea (Deluxe Double Vinyl)
