When Does Under the Waves Come Out?

If you’re looking forward to nabbing Under the Waves, you might be waiting for a little while. According to a press release, the game does not have a specific release date. It does say, on the other hand, that it’ll be launching sometime in 2023. What’s more, we know that the game is planned for release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

If we had to speculate on when in 2023 we could possibly see Under the Waves, it could release in the first half of the year. I say that because the trailer looks to have a small amount of gameplay — though it could just be convincing, pre-rendered footage — and it’s entirely possible that we’ll see it by May or June. But, if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you know that anything can happen in development. So, we’ll just have to see what happens as this year comes to a close and the next begins.
