Endless Ocean: Luminous takes stock

THE May 2 is fast approaching, and so it is time for ARIKA and Nintendo to give a little overview of the new features ofEndless Ocean: Luminous which, we remind you, will be provided with a trial code of 7 days At Nintendo Switch Online. Ideal for everyone to try out its online features.

As we had already learned during his previous presentations, Endless Ocean Luminous will take place within the Veiled Sea (Veiled Sea), a particularly special setting since the environments and topography will change with each dive. For example, you can find Coral reefsof the glaciersor even abyss shrouded in darkness. The lighting will change according to the in-game clock to provide even more variety.

The wildlife you encounter will default to coated in a strange blue light. By collecting it, you will be able to reveal to the fish their true appearancewhich will unlock you their encyclopedia pages. 500 different species are to be listed and photograph in your log, ranging from sardines in oil to humpback whales, including various extinct animals. Some may even accompany you during your research, first solo, then even by whole benches as your rank.

By going through multi mode, up to 30 players will be able to join a diving group simultaneously. Swimmers will all start out isolated, but upon encountering a companion, they may temporarily become diving buddieswhich will allow them to share between them their discoveries by sticking them emojito see their peers on the map and even to teleport to them with one click. Obviously, it will also be possible to play directly with your knowledge by sharing with them your session codeand even communicate with them with lots of help from little ones gestures to purchase using the cash gleaned from each run.

Of the missions may also appear to players randomly. To take the example of the video, this will involve going to look at yourself fish with unusual colors indicated on the map, which would ultimately make it possible to encounter mythical creatures. Note further, thata story mode seems to be in the game, but the trailer unfortunately did not dwell on it. Enough to hope for a return of the island, of the museum, and more generally of a semblance of scriptwriting to give a little binder to this ocean.
