Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 16 Comments
Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas originally started out in 2013 as a mobile title. Lately though, it’s been ported to new, dedicated gaming systems.
Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas recently released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In an announcement, publisher FDG Entertainment said that the release on new systems has boosted overall sales past one million units. The same notice also reveals that Oceanhorn is coming to more platforms, including “a Nintendo console.”
Ever since Oceanhorn’s original announcement, gamers have compared it to The Legend of Zelda. It’s an action-adventure experience featuring “captivating storytelling, breathtaking 3D visuals and exciting gameplay”. We’ve attached a trailer below showing what it has to offer.
