2019 seems a long way off, but chances are we were sat here this time last year saying the same thing about 2018… and we made it. Just. Today though we are hearing news that a brand new story-rich aeronautical odyssey will be hitting PC and consoles in 2019. What is it? Above.
Announced today for an early 2019 release, Above from Danish devs Mighty Moth has received a little teaser trailer which gives all budding pilots a look at the upcoming aerial action adventure game.
In Above you will find yourself playing as a heroic young pilot who is left to undertake a perilous journey across a vast flooded world – one in which lives revolve around the ancient evil beneath the waves. An action adventure, Above will take you from humble fishing village beginnings to daring capers with sky pirates, uncovering the mystery of murderous cultists and passing through to discover what lies on the other side.
Expect to find a whole world of adventure opening up as you defy the will of the elders and go about conquering the surrounding storm. With multiple factions warring for supremacy and gargantuan monsters below, there will be many obstacles for you to overcome, but with a few upgrades to your trusty plane and some unlikely allies there will no doubt be no challenge you can’t take on.
Above will be shown off to the general public at PAX East in the Indie Megabooth, before then dropping in on EGX Rezzed as part of the Leftfield Collection. If you’re planning on attending either show, then you should swing on by and give it a little look. If not, then well, the trailer below will have to tend to your needs.
