Astragon Entertainment and astragon Development are proud to announce that Seafarer: The Ship Sim, one of the most ambitious ship simulators to date, is now available in Early Access for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store!
This highly anticipated ship simulation invites players to chart their own maritime careers and take the helm of a wide variety of vessels. Combining technical realism with exciting gameplay, Seafarer: The Ship Sim offers an immersive seafaring experience powered by Unreal Engine 5 and NVIDIA WaveWorks 2.0, ensuring stunning visuals, lifelike wave physics, and dynamic weather conditions.
An Exciting Start with Plenty to Explore
From today, captains can dive into over 30 hours of gameplay across the first two factions. Crescentport Logistics tasks players with cargo operations using vessels such as the Tugboat Bernhard and the Cargo Ferry Herbert. The Tide Guard offers thrilling patrol and rescue missions with the Police Boat Rigid, the Police Ship Density, and firefighting specialists Archer and Lancer.
Players can start with the various and exciting missions of the first act of the Story Mode campaign, or set their own pace in Quick Play Mode. To make their own adventure more personal, the character editor allows players to design their own captain before setting sail.
A Journey That Has Only Just Begun
The Early Access launch is only the beginning of this ambitious voyage. astragon Entertainment and astragon Development are committed to expanding the game with free content updates that will add new ships, missions, and gameplay features. Some of the update contents are already in the works, while others will be based on future feedback from the community.
Later in 2025, the free Bulk and LNG Update will introduce large-scale shipping vessels like the Big Trip, Bulk Willy, and Nordic Duchess, alongside new cargo operations. Early next year, the Rescue Update will add new Tide Guard ships Salvation and Grace, bringing high-stakes rescue missions to the fleet.
Looking ahead, captains can expect additional story acts, expanded map areas, a vessel editor, multiplayer co-op missions, and even a brand-new faction to be revealed at a later date on the official Early Access Roadmap.
