There have been many great sub games and subsims over the years but Wolfpack is the first to make co-operative multiplayer the focal point of the gameplay.

 

Four players will work as a crew to fight the sub against the Allied convoys and their tenacious escorts. Unlike everything before, this time you have to rely on other players to succeed. This game was formerly HMS Marulken.

 

Wolfpack is being designed to place the player at the controls of his station. Most submarine games focus on the single player aspect, allowing one person to manage the sub by a user interface with icons that instantly change depth, speed, and heading.

 

Wolfpack compels the four players to use a "procedural" hands-on approach - turning valves, working levers, and manually interacting with the controls of the U-boat. When the Captain player orders the Chief player to make a depth and course change, the Chief will turn the helm and set the dive planes and watch the depth gauge. The Captain will observe the target and feed information to the Navigator, who will in turn make the calculations using the Torpedo Data Computer. The Radio/Sonar player may call out intercepted wireless messages or warn of the approaching danger of "high speed screws", which signifies a threatening destroyer intent on hunting the crew down.

 

Additionally, the game will allow several U-boats with multicrews to join forces in a Wolfpack and stalk the mighty convoys of the Atlantic.

 

To implement as much realism as possible, the dev team spent 10 hours surveying the U-995 in Kiel, Germany, examining every inch of the historic sub.
