It was so fun talking to Kate about design ideas behind Sword of the Sea. Thanks so much for letting me geek out about some of my inspirations, and for the thoughtful, kind words about the game. Thanks Kate!

Thank you!!! And congrats to Cindy, too, couldn’t have done it without her awesome contribution :)

Check out this great article about Sword of the Sea! It was an absolute delight to chat with Lewis about the game-we talked about the thoughts behind it, and even about the crazy sand and water shader! Thank you!

Don’t miss this exclusive interview with @mattnava.bsky.social about Sword of the Sea at Summer Game Fest!

"I expected this studio’s next game to be an engrossing adventure, but I didn’t expect it to rip this hard."

In the middle of a desert with ruins in the background, the Wraith makes a sharp turn on their hovering sword.

We went hands-on with Sword of the Sea at Summer Game Fest and came away viscerally refreshed and excited to play Giant Squid's upcoming game when it releases this August. Our impressions: gameinformer.com/preview/2025...
