Ecco the Dolphin meets Arabian Nights: Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree hits Xbox & PS5 next week
The tale of Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree can be experienced for the first time on PS5 and Xbox Series, with the game launching on both platforms today! Saudi Arabian developer Starvania presents a story from Arabian legends, inviting players to dive into the underwater realm of Ma’een and experience the legends of Bahamut, the colossal whale; Falak, the giant serpent; and the titular Waqwaq Tree. ..
Ma’een, once a vibrant ocean paradise, has been overcome by mysterious, corrupt forces, and only you, by wielding the power of light, can restore balance and dispel the darkness that has afflicted this underwater world. The rich narrative of Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree serves as the backdrop for a puzzle-platforming experience reminiscent of Ecco the Dolphin's smooth underwater platforming, with a puzzle system inspired by the elegant art of calligraphy.

On a journey to restore its radiant beauty, can you unravel the history of the lost kingdom of Ma’een and reveal its connection to the mythical Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree?
