Things We Saw Today: The Haunting Trailer for Sea of Solitude Drops at E3
Plus John Lasseter, the G7 summit, supercomputers and more!
EA Originals has released a trailer for their new game Sea of Solitude, and it is giving us deep Guillermo Del Toro meets Hayao Miyazaki melancholy feels. The title, in development by Jo-Mei Games, centers on a young woman named Kay, whose loneliness and sadness transforms her into a monster. After her transformation, she she drifts on a small boat through a deserted and partly submerged city, where she encounters other monsters and learns more about what happened to her.
Writer and creative director Cornelia Geppert said, “When humans become lonely, they become monsters. This at the core of the story of ‘SOS.’ Embrace your self doubt, in the same way you embrace your hope. This is what being human is all about.” She continued, saying “Sea of Solitude is by far the most artistic and personal project I’ve ever created. 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.”
We cannot wait to play this game, which lands in early 2019.

“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him. pic.twitter.com/orEXIaEMZM
