What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Sea Power is a large-scale naval combat strategy game with complex systems, gameplay, AI, and performance requirements. Early Access allows us to develop these systems in close collaboration with the community and make improvements based on real player feedback at scale.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are currently targeting a 1.0 release in Q4 2026. This timeline reflects the remaining work across AI, performance optimization, Dynamic Campaign features, modding support, and quality of life features. As with any Early Access title, timelines may evolve.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full release is planned to include:

* Full-featured Dynamic Campaign
* Complete AI for computer player, with AI scripting capability for mission-makers
* Further performance and stability improvements
* New playable factions, more units, and full scenario library
* Continued support for modding & Workshop content creation
* Additional refinement of UI and core mechanics

All core gameplay systems are already present, but many will continue to be refined.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Sea Power is fully playable, with a catalog of scenarios, a linear (non-dynamic) campaign, a full-featured Mission Editor, complete support for modding, and Steam Workshop integration with over 4,000 items (as of January 2026). As an Early Access title, players should expect ongoing updates to core mechanics, continued improvements to AI, and performance optimizations with each release.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No price increase is planned at this time.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback has directly influenced priorities, such as AI improvements, UI changes, and roadmap planning. Early Access allows us to focus development where it has the greatest real-world impact.”

About This Game

After hostilities have broken out in Central Europe, the race is on as a pressured US Navy escort force battle off Soviet bomber and submarine attacks on a perilous quest to reinforce NATO defenders in Europe. Meanwhile, in the Persian Gulf, the conflict between Iran and Iraq risks escalating into a larger confrontation between superpowers as both sides indiscriminately attack neutral merchant shipping. And in the Norwegian Sea, an outnumbered Soviet surface force challenges the might of a massive US Navy amphibious force bound for occupied Norway...

Brought to you by the lead designer of Cold Waters, Sea Power lets you control NATO and Warsaw Pact forces in a modern naval conflict. Whether it's gunning it out with Boghammars in a surface duel, fighting off aerial attackers armed with long-range missiles, or hunting for enemy submarines with aircraft and surface ships, advanced weaponry and sensors are at your disposal.

Can you successfully hide your forces while detecting and tracking theirs? It is up to you to play an advanced game of cat and mouse on the high seas, to seize the initiative and attack with the advantage of surprise on your side. And at all times, you have to observe rules of engagement and take care not to cause an unnecessary incident that could lead to escalation. After all, you cannot really be sure just who that radar contact at 30.000 feet is, can you?
