ROUND-UP
CALL OF THE SEA
Developer Out Of The Blue Publisher Raw Fury Format PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series Origin Spain Release December 8
With the weather getting decidedly chilly and none of us able to go anywhere anyway, Out Of The Blue’s sun-kissed island adventure could hardly be coming at a better time. An early December launch for this firstperson mystery should be a fillip for Microsoft, too, which has been short of console exclusives to brag about as we enter what could be a crucial holiday sales season. Whichever version tickles your fancy, its setting looks delightful – and since it’ll be available on Game Pass from day one, this is one tropical ticket that won’t cost the Earth. The getaway we all need? We’ll let you know next month.
