E3 : 2018 - Sea of Solitude Announced

E3 2018: Sea of Solitude Announced

“Sea of Solitude” will be the next EA Originals title, the publisher revealed today along with a brand new trailer at their annual EA Play press conference.

“When humans become lonely, they become monsters,”said Cornelia Geppert, writer and creative director of the upcoming title. “This at the core of the story of ‘SOS.’”

Sea of Solitude is due in early 2019 and features a young woman named Kay, paddling a small boat around a waterlogged world.

Kay has been suffering such loneliness that she has become a monster, covered in black feathers. She’s on a journey to find out why this happened and how she can become human again.

The world is also patrolled by giant creatures, also covered in black feathers, like the sea serpent seen in the trailer below. “On her search to change, she soon finds out that her biggest enemies are not the huge monsters that she meets on her way through the Sea of Solitude, but something way more dangerous,” says the blurb on the game’s website.

“Sea of Solitude is by far the most artistic and personal project I’ve ever created,” Geppert stated. “At times it is very challenging to dig that deep into your own feelings like core fears, longing and anger, but at the same time it is the most fulfilling thing to express those very feelings by putting it to people through art.”
