S.O.N.A.R announcement. Play the next game by Abylight Barcelona
All hands on deck! Abylight Barcelona and publisher Abylight Studios proudly announces their next game in development: S.O.N.A.R. (Submarine Operators Not Actually Ready), Get exclusive access to the playtest of this first person multiplayer sim.
S.O.N.A.R. is a 1–4 player online co-op submarine simulator where teamwork is essential, panic is inevitable, and sinking is always just one wrong button away. Coordinate with your crew to operate a cutting-edge submarine through combat operations, stealth infiltrations, and treasure recovery missions. Repair catastrophic malfunctions, recalibrate complex systems, and desperately hope that the person sitting next to you isn't just randomly pressing buttons.
UNDERWATER MISSIONS The oceans are under enemy control. Gather a team of highly trained specialists, or at least people who claim they know what they're doing, and complete dangerous missions beneath the waves.
Locate hostile vessels and send them to the bottom of the sea. Preferably before they do the same to you.
Protect valuable cargo ships. Because apparently the military couldn't find anyone else to babysit them.
Hunt for treasures. Search the ocean floor for lost riches, forgotten artifacts, and evidence of previous crews' poor decisions.
Slip past enemy destroyers undetected. Stay quiet. Stay hidden. And whatever you do, don't sneeze.
COOPERATION
Up to four crew members must work together to manage nine critical stations, including navigation, diving, sonar, periscope operations, engineering, and damage control. When the sub catches fire or starts taking on water from twelve different holes at once, communication through proximity chat is the only thing standing between you and becoming fish food.
CUSTOMIZATION
In S.O.N.A.R. Every character is unique. Choose from dozens of uniforms, hats, and questionable fashion choices. Customize your equipment before deployment and unlock new gear as you level up. If you're going to make terrible decisions underwater, you should at least look good doing it.
SURVIVAL
Machines aren't the only things that break down. Humans do too. Manage your crew's food supplies, rest schedules, and overall well-being. Neglect them for too long and they'll become exhausted, seasick, delirious, or mysteriously incapable of following simple instructions.
S.O.N.A.R. will be released on Steam (other platforms TBC) on first quarter 2027. You can join the playtest now. Ask for your keys and enjoy this underwater multiplayer madness. A game made with the cooperation of the Spanish Navy.
