All-new trailer: Early Access gameplay
We've created a new trailer featuring some all-new gameplay elements - including the mission editor that will allow you to create your own underwater content and share this with our awesome community!
Watch at your own peril, you might not be able to resist... ;)
What is included in the Early Access game?
Apart from the currently available content, the upcoming update (=Early Access build) will include two brand-new levels to explore, so there's also going to be something new for our current players!
- Diving Base
- HMS Tranquility
- U-352
- Yongala
- Hilma Hooker ***NEW***
- Lockheed Electra (Amelia Earhart) ***NEW***
And let's not forget about the new features. We've been implementing some player progression which we'd love your feedback on, as well as the SUPER AWESOME mission editor. Start creating and sharing your own content in this new update - you won't believe how much we're looking forward to playing your missions. The sky (or should I say, the surface) is the limit!
What's next?
The Early Access launch is just the first big step for World of Diving - onto the full game launch! Behind the scenes, development always continues, and our next upcoming dive location will be a historic one: German WW2 Battleship the Bismarck! This wreck was located in June, 1989, by Robert Ballard (who you might know as the guy who discovered the Titanic). Read more about it here and check out a first, mysterious visual below...
Thanks for sharing this HUGE moment with us and for helping us get here: you guys are awesome. As always, don't forget to check in with us on the forums!
