Today, ESDigital Games announced its publishing deal with developer Lofty Sky Entertainment to release Sky of Tides. The latter is a story-driven sci-fi adventure with RPG elements set in a technologically advanced universe on the brink of war. For the occasion, an announcement trailer was aired:

​

A calamity has fractured the world of Numen into nine floating planetoids. Diverse nations now hover isolated from each other in the sky, while the ocean hovers above them all, enveloping the broken planet, which hangs by a thread. Two rival powers vie for control—the Syndicate through their monopoly on a little understood but powerful technology that relies on mysterious Corron minerals that they control; and the Sovereign, which favors a return to the now nearly lost ways of the ancients outlined in the banned Numen Tomes.

Feature of Sky of Tides include:

• Explore unknown and ancient lands - Travel further away from home than you’ve ever been before. From your family's rytail farm on Yantar, to the harsh desolate wasteland of the Bleached Relics. Explore the mysterious and ancient landscapes of Numen and unearth items to understand the world around you. You never know what you might find along the way.
• Dialogue choices shape your character - It’s not just about what you do, but how you react. Think about who you want to be, as the world of Numen will mirror itself to your personality, the items in the world, and your dialogue options. Dialogue choices you make reflect in your Character Stats which go towards unlocking further dialogue options and unique customization items. Increase your intelligence, humor, courage, compassion, and luck, but be wary of what you say, the people you meet along the way aren’t afraid to talk back…
• A story-driven sci-fi adventure - You play as Rin, the daughter of Syndicate researcher Lu D’Lorah who uncovers a conspiracy to starve the people of Numen and then goes missing. As you set out to find your father, you’ll encounter all sorts of interesting numenites—some friends, some foe. Discover a hidden power that may hold the answer to healing the broken planet before it’s too late, but be careful, there are others seeking this power as well.

Sky of Tides will be launching for PC via Steam, PlayStation and Xbox consoles and Nintendo Switch. No release window has been shared at this time.
