Erst vor zwei Tagen haben wir von einem Teaser zu einem neuen Spiel von Insomniac Games berichtet, die maßgeblich bei Sony-Fans für Ratchet & Clank oder Spyro bekannt sind.

Jetzt kooperieren sie mit dem Videospiel-Händler GameStop, der zum ersten Mal ein eigenes Spiel vertreiben wird. Dieser Titel hört auf den Namen Song of the Deep und ist ein Metroidvania mit Unterwasser-Setting. Das Spiel soll im Sommer zumindest in Nordamerika für die PlayStation 4, Xbox One sowie dem PC erscheinen. Die Geschichte handelt von einem jungen Mädchen in einem U-Boot, das auf der Suche nach ihrem verschollenen Vater ist. Spielerisch soll der Titel die typischen Elemente eines Metroidvanias mit einem Unterwasser-Abenteuer verbinden. Bisher ist noch nicht bekannt, wann und ob der Titel auch in Deutschland erscheinen wird. Weitere Infos und auch einen Trailer findet ihr im Folgenden:

Along the way, she’ll make friends, discover lost civilizations and ruins, and upgrade her submarine to explore even deeper. The terrain and monsters of the deep are daunting, but Merryn’s courage, intelligence, and love for her father will help her overcome adversity.
