News of the game’s release date came notably during EA’s E3 press conference, and was accompanied by the game’s second-ever trailer.
A third-person exploration game, Sea of Solitude looks akin to previous games such as Journey, which is say minimal from a gameplay perspective, but heavy on atmosphere and storytelling.
Despite being surrounded by a smattering of larger, AAA games — such as Anthem, FIFA 19, Madden NFL 19, and Battlefield V — many people came out of EA’s E3 presser most excited and positive about Sea of Solitude, thanks to its beautiful, yet dark trailer loaded with ambience.
Personally, it was my favorite game of the show, and I’m a massive BioWare fan, so I was naturally pretty stoked about Anthem as well. However, there’s something about Sea of Solitude, a uniqueness, that makes me want to to play it right now.
At the moment, it’s unclear how much Sea of Solitude will cost upon launch, but given previous EA Originals games have gone for, expect a price-point between $20 and $30 USD.
At the moment, there is no word of a Nintendo Switch release. However, of the two EA Originals games to release this year — Fe and A Way Out — one of them (the former) made its way to the Nintendo platform, so there’s a chance this will as well. If it does, expect an announcement further down the line.
