We were treated to a lovely live performance of music fromSablelast night, during the Summer Game Fest while footage of the gorgeous upcoming open-world game played in the background. It’s looking as lovely as ever, with charming deserts that rival that of Journey. And now, after two years of delays, we’ll finally be able to explore its beautiful environments ourselves when Sable launches on September 23rd.
Michelle Zauner of the band Japanese Breakfast is working on the game’s soundtrack. Here she is performing one of the songs during last night’s announceathon.

Originally revealed at E3 2018, you play as Sable, a young girl heading out on a rite of passage called Gliding, for which she hops onto a hoverbike to explore the world.
Earlier this week, a new extended gameplay trailer (below) showed the player character exploring sandy settlements, chatting with locals, gliding around on her hoverbike, and partaking in a little bit of platforming too. While there’s clearly a story here, it seems like you can run off (hover off?) and adventure at your own pace too, which is nice. Perfect for folks like me who’ll spend hours hunting for the best screenshot locations.
