About
You play the Wraith, exploring a desolate, abandoned world in an attempt to bring life back to it. Collecting Ocean Seeds restores water to the desert, which opens new places to surf, and the sea life that returns opens routes to explore. The hoversword mixes snowboard, skateboard and hoverboard traits, and you can donate Tetra to vendors to unlock tricks. Matt Nava directed the game, which has no dialogue, and Austin Wintory composed the music. Windows and PlayStation 5 versions came out on August 19, 2025, and versions for Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 followed on October 29, 2026, published by Fictions.
