About
From the visionary artist behind ABZÛ, The Pathless, and Journey – Sword of the Sea is an atmospheric surfing adventure with highspeed Hoversword movement inspired by skateboarding and snowboarding.
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.
Explore a world where the land flows in constant waves. From massive tides to the smallest ripples, the shifting sea of dunes is incredibly detailed and beautifully rendered. Surf across sandy deserts, glacial mountains, and many more undulating environments full of secrets in this incredible adventure.
You are the Wraith – resurrected in the desolate Necropolis on a quest to unveil the ancient sea buried beneath the land. Discover the remnants of a lost culture hidden in sinking tombs and skatepark-like ruins as you search for purpose. Transform sandy dunes into glittering, emerald waters and witness magical sealife return in huge, breathtaking shoals. Feel the spiritual magic of surfing as you connect with nature and restore life – but beware, there is also darkness lurking under the waves.
Developed by the renowned indie team Giant Squid, Sword of the Sea features the unique artistic design of creative director Matt Nava and beautiful music composed by Grammy winning Austin Wintory. Long time creative partners, their works together include beloved indie games ABZÛ, The Pathless, and the legendary, award-winning game Journey.

Oui le jeu est cours, mais je regrette pas les 21€ que j'ai mis dedans quand il était promotion. J'ai qu'une envie, c'est de refaire une partie, découvrir tous les secrets, et jouer depuis mon PC fixe. Ma Lenovo Legion Go 2 a réussi à le faire tourner (merci l'upscaling de Bazzite OS), mais des fois je tombais à 20 FPS. Une carte graphique dédiée aurait pas été du luxe pour le jeu. L'expérience était quand même agréable et magnifique. Le jeu est super beau et les sensations de glisse sont super bonnes. Bref, foncée :)
Pretty good. Movement was fun, music and visuals were of course fantastic. Definitely worth a go if you want a chill 3D platformer. It is a tad short but there is some replay value there if you want to go for a better score or time. If you see it on sale its definitely worth it.
