Yes, surfing.

As more and more games look to traversal as their differentiator, we're seeing a lot of unique methods of transport come to the design fore, and in Atlas Fallen, an action-RPG from Focus Entertainment and developer Deck13 this comes by way of surfing across the game's sand-covered fantasty world.

In a devastated, sand-covered world, seize the divine power of a mysterious Gauntlet and wield heroic abilities to defeat a tyrannic, almighty god. Tame the sands to shape them into a shape-shifting weapon and watch it grow larger as you build Momentum to unleash the full, irrepressible power of the Gauntlet.

The 151 Essence Stones that can be found in the world of Atlas grant you a wide range of extra effects and abilities. Whether you prefer to play aggressively or prefer to use shields, debuffs and healing, combine Essence Stones how you like to create your own approach to combat.

Propel yourself in the air and glide across the dunes thanks to your sand-infused powers and experience incredible speed, verticality, and high mobility. An ecstatic feel as you explore the vast and timeless land of Atlas and fight its terrifying beasts.

The game is due to land on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X this coming August 10. Stay tuned for more on Atlas Fallen as its release draws closer.
