Today, astragon Entertainment announced a brand-new maritime adventure for simulation fans coming to PC, Seafarer: The Ship Sim.
In Seafarer: The Ship Sim, players will be given control over various ships and have the opportunity to join a handful of different factions. Depending on your choice, you’ll embark on specific missions, like cargo transportation, fire-fighting on open waters, high-stakes rescues, and treasure recovery.
Ships vary from nimble tugboats to massive freighters, each of which are fully interactive and explorable. You’ll be able to conduct maintenance, operate heavy machinery, and even take control of water cannons to battle onboard fires in some of the more challenging missions that take place in the game.
Seafarer: The Ship Sim features both a casual Quick Play Mode and an in-depth Story Mode. The former lets you explore at leisure, while the latter tells an immersive and thrilling tale of danger and intrigue.
Regardless of how you play, you’ll always be able to create and customize your character to make your own personal captain. Thanks to a combination of Unreal Engine 5 and NVIDIA WaveWorks 2.0, the weather will feel dynamic and realistic, making the water as unpredictable as it is beautiful.
The game will release in Early Access for PC (Steam & Epic Games Store) in Summer 2025 for $24.99. If you simply can’t wait to get your hands on it, other detailed ocean-fairing simulators like Ships at Sea and Sea Power might just be able to hold you over until the game arrives later this year.
