The developers Giant Squid just released a eight-minute video showing some first gameplay footage of their debut title called ABZU. The game is scheduled for release sometime in 2016 and will be available for the PC as well as the PlayStation 4 console.

ABZU is an epic descent into the depths of the sea, where players will explore beautifully rendered ocean environments with fluid swimming controls. The experience draws inspiration from the deep innate narrative that we all carry within our subconscious: the story of ABZU is a universal myth that resonates across cultures. The name references a concept from the oldest mythologies; it is the combination of the two ancient words AB, meaning ocean, and ZU, meaning to know. ABZU is the ocean of wisdom.

Along with the press release comes the debut trailer and screenshots which are available in the gallery below.
