Beyond Blue

Jump forward a decade with this stunning underwater mystery

Imagine getting a call from the BBC saying something like, “Have you thought about making a game inspired by Blue Planet II?” Apparently this is what happened in real life to E-Line, developer of ocean adventure Beyond Blue developer, E-Line. Choking down my jealousy I headed to their booth at EGX to find out more about the project.

“After we released [Never Alone] we got a call from the BBC who were in the process of making Blue Planet II,” says E-Line CEO, Michael Angst. Blue Planet II is a BBC nature documentary brimming with spectacular footage of underwater (and underwater adjacent) life. “[They] thought it would be interesting to have an original game made that embraced the themes, embraced the science and some of the creature characters from the series.”
