Evaluation

Beyond Blue launched on June 11, 2020 as a complete single-player narrative adventure. After launch, the developer shipped several smaller patches adding community-requested features like Photo Mode (October 20, 2020) and streamer mode (June 19, 2020). Then, on February 12, 2025, E-Line Media released a substantial free update adding an entirely new dive region (the Tropical Reef), new sea creatures, daily Activities with three challenge types, a cosmetic suit shop, and a Dive-In Theater mode. This update represents the most recent major content delivered to the game. The most recent news post, from June 10, 2026, is E-Line Media announcing a new game called Neighborhoods — it is an announcement for a separate title, not a signal of further Beyond Blue content. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no developer roadmap pointing to future Beyond Blue content, and no stated plans to continue updating the game. With the major February 2025 update representing the culmination of post-launch development — and no subsequent communications about additional Beyond Blue content — the game appears to be a finished product as of that update.

About this game

Beyond Blue is a single-player narrative adventure that takes you deep into our planet’s beating blue heart.

Set in the near future, Beyond Blue explores the mysteries of our ocean through the eyes of Mirai, a deep-sea explorer and scientist. Become a part of a newly-formed research team using groundbreaking technologies to see, hear, and interact with the ocean in a more meaningful way than has ever been attempted.

Features:

  • Throughout eight different dives you'll explore the untouched world of our ocean and use technology at the edge of our understanding - tracking sea creatures, unraveling mysteries, and interacting with the ocean like never before

  • Experience an evocative narrative with full voice cast - Anna Akana (YouTube), Mira Furlan (Lost, Babylon 5), Hakeem Kae-Kazim (Black Sails, Hotel Rwanda), and Ally Maki (Toy Story 4)

  • Listen to a captivating and entertaining soundtrack featuring an original score and music from Miles Davis, The Flaming Lips, The Edisons, and more

  • Unlock sixteen unique mini-documentaries called Ocean Insights that feature original footage and interviews with science’s leading ocean experts

  • Take beautiful pictures to share using the brand new Photo Mode, featuring dozens of filters, lens settings, and more

Embracing the same inclusive development process that was used to create Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna), E-Line’s BAFTA award-winning game about Alaska Native culture, the company partnered with BBC Studios (developers of the acclaimed Blue Planet II), OceanX Media, world-class game makers, and some of science’s leading ocean experts to craft an experience that reflects the awesome wonder and unbounded mystery that infuses our planet’s beating blue heart.
