Ubisoft have today announced the development of Silent Hunter Online, a free-to-play browser based multiplayer game which is inspired by the submarine simulation series “Silent Hunter”. This is being developed by Ubisoft’s Blue Byte studio who have been behind other games such as The Settlers and Anno, in collaboration with Sproing. They hope the game will bring a realistic and constantly evolving submarine simulation unlike any other.
Silent Hunter Online sees the return of the large array of historically accurate submarines that made the franchise famous, and invites players to experience them online in new ways. At the heart of the game is “the Battle of the Atlantic”, an innovative dynamic campaign in which individual successes impact all other players through asynchronous game-play. Also, for the first time in the Silent Hunter series, players will be able to play every mission of the campaign in co-op.
Christopher Schmitz, Head of Production at Ubisoft Blue Byte had this to say:
This is the most innovative Silent Hunter experience ever created and we can’t wait to let our fans dive into the game
This title personally does not sound of much interest to me… however if you are interested and want to apply to take part in an upcoming Closed Beta test, visit the games official website HERE.
