Seafarer: The Ship Sim - Early Access Roadmap revealed

When Seafarer: The Ship Sim launches in early access on October 7, you'll start your career at Crescentport Logistics. The company is now presenting itself in a video, and Astragon is also showing the road map for the coming months.

In Seafarer: The Ship Sim from Astragon, you take on the many tasks of a ship captain on the high seas. In addition to classic cargo missions, such as when you start your career at Crescentport Logistics, you can also expect assignments such as firefighting and rescue missions. What makes it special is that the authentically modeled ships are freely accessible for work on board, so in Seafarer you not only take the helm, but also maintain engines, operate cranes, and use fire hoses.

Seafarer with an open game world and realistic wave simulation

The open game world of Seafarer: The Ship Sim is based on northern European coastal landscapes and features ports, cities, and oil rigs, which the Astragon development studio brings to life with dynamic weather, a day-night cycle, and realistic wave simulation. Those who want to experience the campaign can choose story mode with missions and a storyline, while quick play allows for immediate free missions. A central element are the various factions, each with their own areas of responsibility. One of these is Crescentport Logistics, which focuses on cargo and transport missions. There, you start with the tugboat Bernhard or the ferry Herbert and ensure that goods are transported safely from port to port.

Roadmap for Early Access: What's next for Seafarer

Bundle up: Seafarer: The Ship Sim will be available to play in Early Access starting October 7. Six ships, including tugboats and cargo ferries, will put your seafaring skills to the test right from the start. One of the first factions available is Crescentport Logistics for cargo missions. Herbert the cargo ferry is looking forward to being sailed by you. Are rescue missions more your thing?
