We may not have gotten that Abzu mobile port we were hoping for a while back, but as 505 Games announced earlier today we'll definitely be getting a Switch port. When? You've only got to wait until November 29th.

You might mistake Abzu for another of thatgamescompany's masterpieces like Journey or Flower, and you wouldn't be the only one. This underwater adventure has plenty about it that strikes a similar chord to those games, but it's actually developed by Giant Squid Studios.

In it, you play as a diver exploring an underwater world full of natural beauty, forgotten temples, and hundreds of species of fish. When you reach certain points you can just chill out and watch the fish bobbing along at their own pace and it's weirdly calming.

Of course, mixed into the natural splendour is the stain of mankind's effect, where ancient secrets lie hidden away in the heart of the ocean.

You can pre-order the game now on Nintendo eShop for a 10% discount, £13.49.
