Immersive Fishing and Boating Sim ‘Ships at Sea’ from Misc Games Available Now in PC Early Access
May 23 2024 - 6:00AM
Misc Games – The skilled team behind the successful titles Fishing:
Barents Sea and Fishing: North Atlantic – is excited to announce
that its new title, Ships at Sea, has launched in Early Access
today on Windows PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store for $24.99
(with a 10% launch discount for the first week).
Ships at Sea is the culmination of creativity, drive, and
innovation. Misc Games’ team of passionate industry professionals
has taken the charm of the previous Fishing franchise and the
feedback of their equally passionate community and created an
all-new franchise, starting with this game.
Set in the unforgiving Norwegian Sea and around the harbors of
Lofoten, Norway, Ships at Sea takes captains on their most
realistic boating experience yet. Misc Games has harnessed NVIDIA’s
proprietary WaveWorks water shader and Unreal Engine 5 to deliver
the most striking, immersive experiences and cinematic-quality
water simulation imaginable. Now with multiplayer capabilities,
players can team up in a maximum party of four and complete various
tasks and necessities.

Misc Games has teamed up with various boating and fishing
equipment brands such as Breeze, PingMe (from Ocean Space
Acoustics), Lorentzen Hydraulikk, and Østbornholms Kutterservice to
provide the most realistic, dynamic overall experience for
enthusiasts on both fronts: fishing and boating.
As soon-to-be skippers traverse the vast unknown of the
Norwegian Sea, they will embark on a voyage through the world of
ships with up to 4 friends. Players can expect a slew of features
to become available through the Early Access phase of the game,
such as crewmates being able to share resources and items and stock
up on essential supplies for themselves and their crew. Cast your
line and maintain the boats, purchase tools or equipment in the
store, upgrade ships (and get bigger boats!), and refuel ships at
one of the fuel stations, along with other gameplay features.
Through a series of skill levels, players can build and improve
their abilities. Skippers on cargo ships can use their skills to
deliver goods and materials. For those who want to enhance their
engineering skills, a career on service ships provides the ideal
opportunity to gain experience in performing repairs and mechanical
work. If you’ve got angling on your mind, the commercial fishing
career is an exciting route that teaches various fishing
techniques, resource management strategies, and catch distribution
tactics. Players can also take on all three careers if they’re up
to the task since Ships at Sea doesn’t lock players into one career
path.
Ships at Sea is the ultimate simulation game for maritime
enthusiasts. With stunning graphics, advanced gameplay features,
and a multiplayer mode, players can experience the thrill of the
high seas like never before!
Ships at Sea is out now in Early Access on Steam and the Epic
Games Store, and will be available in the Microsoft Store on June
6, 2024. Additionally, the PC version of Ships at Sea will be
finalized and launch alongside the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series
X|S versions in 2026. To get it for Early Access, click the link
