'I Am Fish' Gets Xbox and PC Release Date, On Xbox Game Pass At Launch - Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 24, 2021 @ 9:47 a.m. PDT

I Am Fish sees players navigating one plucky fish through traps, trials and tribulations on epic journeys to the freedom of the ocean.

The game takes the mix of physics platforming and control-scheme-battling seen in I Am Bread and sets it free in an ocean of opportunity. Players can expect more thrilling highs and more crushing defeats, all wrapped up in the best of Bossa’s humour. 

I Am Fish was originally part of the Bossa Presents prototype initiative in October 2019. This initiative saw free prototypes of I Am FishPigeon Simulator and Trash Bandits released to players worldwide for them to enjoy and provide feedback on. Bossa Studios has now set the bowl rolling on turning I Am Fish from a prototype to a full sequel to I Am Bread, rebuilt from the ground up and full of the features requested by a wonderful deluge of players during Bossa Presents.

I Am Fish is a charming adventure starring four intrepid fish friends, forcibly separated from their home in a pet shop fish tank. Throughout the game, players will join them as they swim, fly, roll, and chomp their way to the open ocean from the far-flung corners of Barnardshire (the smallest county in England) in their bid for freedom and to reunite once again.

Curve Digital and Bossa Studios are whaley excited to announce that I Am Fish will release on Steam, Xbox stores, and Xbox Game Pass for consoles and PC on September 16, 2021 for £15.99, €19.99, $19.99 USD.

“Like many titles Bossa Studios has worked on, I Am Fish started as a prototype that was initially quite difficult, but got some great reactions from people within the studio,” said Luke Williams, lead game designer at Bossa Studios. “For the full game, we knew we wanted to expand it beyond just a fish in a bowl, both mechanically and thematically. I think players will enjoy seeing the precarious situations these fish will get into!”

A playable PC demo is still available on Steam.

The game features four playable fish: a Goldfish, Pufferfish, Flying Fish, and Piranha each with their own unique personality, abilities, and aquatic adventuring styles. Today’s trailer shows just how deeply these plucky explorers can think outside the bowl on their journey to fishy freedom. Fans of charming, daresay...wholesome...fun will be challenged to bring the four piscine pet shop pals back together through hilarious physics-based challenges!

Whilst sleepy Barnardshire is an idyllic coastal hideaway, it isn’t without its dangers! Our four fin-tastic friends will have to navigate threats such as crossing roads, traversing rooftops, dodging deep fat fryers and avoiding hungry wildlife, making e-fish-ient use of jars, wheeled mop buckets, and more to reach the final goal — the deep, vast ocean!

I Am Fish is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on September 16, 2021.
