Danish developer Mighty Moth has announced its upcoming whimsical flight simulator Above will be landing on 'consoles' in 2019. In this isometric affair you'll pilot a bright red plane and guide its pilot, Mary, around a flooded world full of sky pirates and other dangers lurking beneath the waves.
You'll be able to land and upgrade your trusty flying contraption, as well as pulling off all sorts of daring aerial tricks when you're soaring through the sky. From battling sea monsters to unravelling the mystery of Mary's lost brother, Above promises to be a cut... ahem... above when it arrives on 'consoles' in 2019.
Does Above get your piloting juices flowing? Will it be enough to sate your desire to fly before we eventually get a new Pilotwings on Nintendo Switch? Let us know in the comments below...

Like the look
The only thing I'm not keen on is the choice of perspective.
Colour me interested.
@SmaggTheSmug Same here, would have preferred a 3rd person / arcade flightsim viewpoint.
I really like the visuals, but if you can adjust altitude, I might need more of a visual cue. I'll wait for a review.
Sweet! This could almost be "Porco Rosso: The Video Game". And as a Commodore 64 kid, I love the isometric perspective.
The perspective turned me off, until I watched the video. Really dig it. Will buy.
This looks neat. I'll pay close attention to this game.
This looks very interesting, will keep a close eye.
Looks interesting. But rogue I guess?
This looks awesome. Will definitely keep on my radar.
The visuals give a very Dieselpunk meets Lost City of Atlantis vibe, I dig it!
@Henmii No procedural generated levels. It's an action adventure where you explore both the story, different worlds and encounter air fights and see monsters.
Getting some wind waker vibes
@MieFromAbove,
Ah, that's good to hear.
@DrJiggle Porco Rosso is also a very big inspiration for the team in terms of the visuals of the game - Amazing movie!
@MieFromAbove I'm happy to hear it's an inspiration for the team as it's my favorite Studio Ghibli movie! I will be anxiously waiting for this one to "land" so that I can play it. Good luck to the team!
