Dive deep this June with Beyond Blue
Gamers will be able to take part in Worlds Ocean’s Week and dive deep with the launch of the ocean adventure game, Beyond Blue. E-Line Media, creators of the BAFTA award-winning game, Never Alone, will bring Beyond Blue to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on the 11th June 2020.
Beyond Blue is a single-player narrative adventure game. It features the scientific support of real-world exploration and outreach initiative, OceanX, and embracing its minimally invasive exploration techniques. It tells the story of a crew of scientists – led by oceanographers Mirai and André – who set out to test their “Ocean Sense Network,” which has the power to literally shine a light on the unexplored depths of the ocean as they unravel its endless mysteries.
Focusing on the Western Pacific Ocean amid a large multispecies gathering of cetaceans and other creatures, players will step into the shoes (and flippers) of Mirai, as they use technology to better understand the urgent threats facing these blue depths.
Blue Planet II has been the basis of inspiration for this game and includes footage from the British nature documentary series. E-Line Media created sixteen mini-documentaries called Ocean Insights, that players will be able to unlock while they explore the world of the Western Pacific. For those eager to see what lies deep down below the ocean, a new trailer has been released that features some of the scientists that worked with the game developers to capture the experience of bringing the ocean to life.
At the same time, Beyond Blue will feature never-before-seen footage licensed from BBC Studios’ Blue Planet II, expanding upon the game’s story and educating players about the social and emotional lives of these whales – the creatures with the biggest brains on the planet.
Beyond Blue Features:
- An evocative narrative with full voice cast – Anna Akana (YouTube), Mira Furlan (Lost, Babylon 5), Hakeem Kae-Kazim (Black Sails, Hotel Rwanda), and Ally Maki (Toy Story 4)
- Exploration and adventure within a realistic untouched world
- Sixteen unique mini-documentaries called Ocean Insights that feature original footage and interviews with science’s leading ocean experts
Beyond Blue is already available through the Apple Arcade subscription service, playable across compatible iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and Apple TV devices.
