Alright, gamers, strap yourselves in! A piece of major news from the makers of Tides of Tomorrow has been shared and is engaging every gamer in a great discussion. It is an oceanic survival adventure launching on 24 February 2026, for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, where a very lethal disease is trying to wipe life away from the planet. Your job? Well, find a cure. But, I think you will not be able to do that on your own. So now, the really big question is… Will you be able to throw a lifeline at the other Tidewalkers, or will you let them drown?
First things first; what do we have? To sum it up: the trailer is beautiful, and we get this world set up where cooperation might just be the key to survival. Is it a purely multiplayer game? No, the community is already unpacking that. User @Saheal_ noted how the Steam and Xbox listings mentioned single-player, while the trailer very much gives off a co-op vibe. Then @_SimplyG came hard and said asynchronous multiplayer—which means you play alone, and the choices other players make shape your game experience. Think Dark Souls meets… uh, a really wet apocalypse?
And on the vibe; road 96 fans might also recognize a familiar voice in the trailer. @meowcarokie spotted Fanny’s VA immediately, while @Hoodie_in_a_Guy said, “Wait, is that–??” So, Digixart is going to bring back that narrative magic, only this time stakes are higher-and presumably a little bit underwater.
Then came the switch of publishers: @InvestEmbracer noticed a change in publisher, with THQ Nordic now appearing in the publisher slot instead of Deep Silver. Enter the conspiracy theories! But then @_SimplyG shut those down, explaining that both publishers are under the Embracer Group umbrella. So, no drama. Just corporate musical chairs.
Some are not on board yet. @SKHYJINX thinks these visuals might be “eye-hurty” after 10 minutes (fair enough), and thanks are going to @joe_danielos, who asked, “Please tell me it’s playable entirely solo??” (No official word from Digixart yet, though, so keep your fingers crossed); meanwhile, @ArnauGumiel has already started a campaign for a PSVR2 port: “Take my money NOW”!
And the hype is real, with @ImJoker3843 and @BTVAbhiJha already counting down, while @LogitechG pledged his allegiance to the Tidewalkers. Then @kambyyy, self-proclaimed Road 96 lover, called the concept “cool as hell” if it actually delivers on consequences. Same, dude. Same.
Oh, shout to all those Turkish gamers wondering about subtitles (@planckfoton) and the dude just asking for “more faggs and boss chicks” (@cable334). Y’all are crazy, but Digixart’s probably busy working on that cure-for-humanity thing first.
Long story short, they still doubt that Tides of Tomorrow is going to be a weird, wet mess of survival and storytelling, solo grind, or some chaotic ripple effects. Save the date for 2026 or wishlist already and pray to God your PC doesn’t blow up because of graphics.
If you ever see a Tidewalker drowning, don’t hesitate to just throw a life vest his way. Or don’t. Your apocalypse.
