In 2009 there was flower, a title that missed out on our game of the year accolade by mere inches. In early 2010 there was Heavy Rain, a game so unique and interesting that it was impossible to ignore. And in 2011, Sony have Journey and The Last Guardian lined up for us.

This story is about Journey, the next title from thatgamecompany. Little is known about the game, aside from it plotting the journey of a caped character to the apex of a distant mountain. The game will make subtle use of online interaction so that players happen across other real-world players during their journey.

Despite the first trailer being released today, the game is still shrouded in mystery. That trailer though... That trailer epitomises everything that makes PlayStation — and the wonderful thatgamecompany — so great.

Enjoy.
