This issue of Edge magazine features a five-page, in-depth review of our entire game. We're so proud of the great score and the praise. 🖤
Still Wakes The Deep - available in 5 days. Huge thanks everyone for your support!

[Rob McLachlan @robmclac]

You'll be able to play STILL WAKES THE DEEP with Scots Gaelic subtitles throughout - we think one of the first major games to support the language. Thanks to our excellent localisation team from @BigmouthAudio

Really sad news just a week before our game comes out too. Thinking of all my colleagues in the Sumo family. The next few weeks are going to be full of ups and downs …

Following an internal announcement to our people, please see the below statement:
