World Ship Simulator Sails onto Retail
Banbury, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, October 18th,
in the year of our Lord 2016 - Excalibur is pleased to
announce that World Ship Simulator, the successor to its popular
European Ship Simulator, will be appearing on retail shelves on
October 28th. Having launched on Steam Early Access initially in
November 2015, World Ship Simulator offers significant
improvements to its predecessor right from the outset and
includes:
· An open world with no loading screens between ports
· A career mode that will allow players to complete jobs to earn
money and experience
· Changing weather conditions including storms and fog that
affects ocean wave height
· Manipulate time to make those long treks across the ocean pass
much more quickly
· Crew on board the vessel
· Leave your ship at port to accept missions
Set in a fictitious environment that has been inspired by ports
and landmarks from around the globe, World Ship Simulator allows
the player to captain a hovercraft, bulk carrier, yacht and
other magnificent vessels in an expansive open world.
Players can weigh anchor on the open seas and begin their career
in the maritime industry. Players start from humble beginnings
with a single ship and complete a selection of jobs that earn
them experience to take on more demanding opportunities with
greater rewards. Hard earned cash can then be used to repair
vessels and purchase new ships.
Players are able to utilise the specialised ship modding tool to
create and share their own ships on Steam Workshop and download
new ships from the community.
Vessels included:
· Hovercraft
· Cruise liner
· Bulk carrier
· Tugboat
· Speed boat
· Port boat
· Additional unlockable Fishing boat
Steam workshop models include:
