There's a big story inside Game Informer about their hands on with Abzû. I'll post the full summary once I get the article, but here's tidbits from their article preview:

● Each environment has different puzzles to try to solve
● "Drones can be revived in order to mine mineral pools."
● The game contains tens of thousands of fish types from different eras.
● Thousands of fish can be on screen at one time.
● There are different eras of fish. Prehistoric Fish?
● Every fish exists within the food chain, and the player can manipulate it.
● You can press a button to swim with schools of fish, or catch a ride on various sea creatures (like the sea turtle pictured).

Just hook it to my veins.

Was wondering where this one went.

TheBioLover · Jun 10, 2015

Looks absolutely gorgeous, you can definitely tell it's the same art director as Journey.

Ridley327 · Jun 10, 2015

So, it's Endless Ocean with a lot of cues from Journey?

Just so we're clear, that's an awesome thing.

RexNovis · Jun 10, 2015

This looks fantastic. Love the art style. Can't wait to try it out for myself.

IAmRandom31 · Jun 10, 2015

Gorgeous!!

Can't wait to see more at E 3. Hopefully a huge 7-10 minute trailer

Loudninja · Jun 10, 2015

Wow that looks awesome, reminds of Endless Ocean.

KillerSloth · Jun 10, 2015

Really like the art style.

Zetta · Jun 10, 2015

Oh hell this is the game I've always wanted. This looks amazing and who wouldn't love to swim around with sharks from different eras.

jaypah · Jun 10, 2015

Oh wow, this is beautiful.

chadskin · Jun 10, 2015

No Man's Ocean.

AyaisMUsikWhore · Jun 10, 2015

Looks amazing. I really love the art style and can't wait to find out more information at E3

Yes, yes it is.

Feep · Jun 10, 2015

Looks incredible. Pumped.

Father_Brain · Jun 10, 2015

Bottom of the page lists it for PC as well. I hope that isn't an error.

Dog Problems · Jun 10, 2015

My most anticipated game of 2016. Everything about it sounds so good.

Auctopus · Jun 10, 2015

This is 2.5D right?

Appollowexx · Jun 10, 2015

This looks incredible. One of my most wanted games.
Beautiful art style.

CHC · Jun 10, 2015

Oh god this is looking so so so good. I really have been wanting a good underwater game since (oddly enough) GTA V's beautiful coral reefs.

Release is still TBA 2016 so ugggh but there's enough else in the meantime.

I sincerely hope not, it begs to be explored fully!

Thank god. I'd be disappointed if this were another Rime or Everybody's Gone to the Rapture deal.

Lys Skygge · Jun 10, 2015

This looks incredible. I was wondering when we'd hear more about this

GeoramA · Jun 10, 2015

Good god that's gorgeous. My dream underwater game

Loudninja · Jun 10, 2015

Here is the old trailer

Warablo · Jun 10, 2015

Wow, this looks cool. We need more water games!

wanderingprostheyltite · Jun 10, 2015

Lovin it. The world needs more underwater explorathons. Attention to detail with all the flora and fauna is an insta buy for me. There's a reason Ecco Dreamcast was one of my favorite games on the system. Love me some fully fleshed out underwater worlds.

Jac_Solar · Jun 10, 2015

Tens of thousands of fish types from different areas? How's that possible? Are they using a library of models or something?

Bluekaveli · Jun 10, 2015

Pretty. I want to see this in 4k.

hawk2025 · Jun 10, 2015

Oh WOW, immediate hype-bump.

Wensih · Jun 10, 2015

Really excited for it. 2016 title?

Awesome, love the artwork. Are the puzzles optional?

Makes me want to just explore.

Piston Hyundai · Jun 10, 2015

Gesundheit.

Lng0004 · Jun 10, 2015

More indie? Oh great. No really, I'm very excited about this game.

(no sarcasm tag ;P)

FelipeMGM · Jun 10, 2015

Looks amazing. Its time for another trailer with a release date this time

Corto · Jun 10, 2015

Lovely.

phanphare · Jun 10, 2015

nice, this game looks incredible

probably the highlight of sony's conference last year for me

jiggle · Jun 10, 2015

So purrrtee

DangerMouse · Jun 10, 2015

Awesome. Yeah, this looked really cool last year.

Damn, this is gonna look amazing on my new TV.

Hahaha.

OT: Looks like a really nice game. Didn't know about it but I'm digging everything about it.

Spine_Ripper · Jun 10, 2015

I wanna manipulate dino fish.

BobTheFork · Jun 10, 2015

!

First I'm seeing or hearing of this.
That looks amazing.

Mikey Jr. · Jun 10, 2015

Looks absolutely gorgeous!

Missed that! I hope mod changes the title. I remember last year there was some confusion over whether it would be solely on PS4 or not, and didn't see the platforms here.

SmokedMeat · Jun 10, 2015

Looks interesting!

Choomp · Jun 10, 2015

Game looks wonderful. Will certainly be on the lookout for this one.

jjonez18 · Jun 10, 2015

Can't wait for this Journey.

wink wink

Exclusive first look at what happens when you manipulate a megalodon:

bede-x · Jun 10, 2015

That looks stunning. Can't wait.

viveks86 · Jun 10, 2015

Hope there's a trailer at E3. Fell in love the moment I saw these earlier
