Back in May, Microsoft unveiledCall of the Sea, a new first-person adventure game where players explore a mysterious island in the South Pacific as a woman named Norah, who is searching for her missing husband. The game turned some heads as one of the first Xbox Series X titles revealed to the public, and its use of Lovecraft mythology has definitely piqued some interest as well. Now it’s been revealed that fans don’t have to wait long at all to tryCall of the Sea, as the Xbox console exclusive will be out in just a matter of weeks.

Besides revealingCall of the Sea’s release date, the new trailer also showcases some gameplay. It looks as thoughCall of the Sea’s gameplaywill consist of plenty of puzzle solving and item-collecting as players attempt to unravel the mystery behind their husband’s disappearance.
Even thoughCall of the Seais a cross-gen gamethat is coming to both Xbox One and Xbox Series X, it will have some next-gen enhancements exclusive to the next-generation version of the game. Those that have managed to secure an Xbox Series X for themselves and decide to playCall of the Seacomes its December 8 release date can look forward to playing the game at a stunning 4K resolution and a consistent 60 frames per second. Based on the trailer, the game should still be visually pleasing on older hardware, though, so those still playing on Xbox One should still have plenty to look forward to.
Call of the Sea’s early December release date is interesting because it would have once conflicted with the launch of another Xbox console exclusive game. Xbox console exclusive horror gameThe Mediumwas once scheduled for launch on December 10, only for it to be delayed to January. It was suggested thatThe Medium’s delaywas so that the game wouldn’t have to compete with the highly-anticipatedCyberpunk 2077(and due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), so it’s interesting thatCall of the Seadoesn’t seem to have the same concern.
In any case,Call of the Sea’s status as an Xbox console exclusiveshould make it of particular interest to Xbox Series X early adopters come its December 8 release date.
