Jett: The Far Shore trailer reveals trippy PS5 launch title

The June 11 reveal of new games coming to PlayStation 5 saw a few rumors pan out and some others fade to dust. There were also quite a few surprises and new mysteries in Sony's reveal event, notably the cryptic space adventure, Jett: The Far Shore from SuperBrothers, creators of Sword & Sworcery EP.

The game has an artsy, indie feel, with stylized triangles and polygons set against expansive space environments. The trailer opens in a sepia-toned society populated folks in broad black hats and sleek dark horses. It doesn't seem to be an advanced society, but they either have access to space travel — or are visited by an alien society. Presumably, all hell breaks loose, because you're then tasked to "carve out a future for a people haunted by oblivion." Whoopsy.

You can check out the enigmatic trailer below.
