Developer and publisher Siege Camp has officially unveiled the next major update for the massively multiplayer war game, Foxhole via Steam. After countless operations on land, the war effort will expand to the seas on October 26th with the upcoming update, Naval Warfare. Step onto the decks of battleships, invade distant shores in high-stakes beach landings, and conquer new island-based territories with thousands of players.
Check out the FOXHOLE Naval Warfare Update announce trailer:
Naval Warfare will engage players in full-fledged naval battles. Across Gunboats, Destroyers, and awe-striking Battleships, soldiers will climb aboard player-built fleets with dozens of players on deck simultaneously. Deliver ammunition, launch depth charges, and deploy sea mines, all while maintaining and regulating ship systems, such as the engines, sonar, and navigation. Players must band together both above and below deck to outmaneuver enemy vessels.
Naval Warfare Key Features:
- Fleets of Ships – Build and deploy impressive fleets of Gunboats, Destroyers, and massive, screen-spanning Battleships with dozens of players on deck.
- Massively Multiplayer Crews – Operate new classes of large naval vessels with crews that must work in tandem above and below deck, taking control of engine rooms, sonar, navigation, and other ship systems.
- Naval Tactics & Strategy – Coordinate with shipmates to deliver and load ammunition, launch depth charges, and deploy sea mines in nail biting, tactical naval battles.
- In-Depth Ship Simulation – Ship subsystems can be individually destroyed and compartments may become flooded. Seawater must be bailed out and leaks repaired to stay afloat during naval engagements. In critical moments of battle, players must decide between sealing off flooded rooms or risking the total loss of a ship.
- Submarines – A new threat emerges from the depths. Invisible to conventional intelligence equipment, Submarines can traverse the seas undetected, ambushing convoys and thwarting naval invasions before they begin.
- Beach Landings – Players can now deploy directly at sea onto Base Ships and storm beaches using new amphibious landing craft designed to ferry both infantry and armor. Portable harbors can be constructed to supply beachheads and support inland troops after a successful invasion.
- Island Warfare – The world of Foxhole has been expanded with new water-based regions. Complete with strategic islands and offshore oil platforms, these new territories set the stage for thrilling new naval campaigns.
- Towing – Trucks, Half-Tracks, and other specialized vehicles can now attach and tow field weapons and other equipment, increasing mobility on the battlefield.
- Trailers – Three specialized types of transport trailers allow additional resources, materials, and fuel to be hauled on cargo runs to the front.
- Additional New Content – Naval Warfare also includes a new Heavy Duty Truck class, deployable field guns, heavy mobile artillery, player built ballistic rocket sites, and more.
Naval Warfare simply marks the next chapter of Foxhole. Siege Camp will continue to redefine the massively multiplayer genre across both Foxhole and the upcoming Anvil Empires.
The sea awaits! The Foxhole Naval Warfare update will be arriving on October 26th. Soldiers can prepare for battle by wishlisting Foxhole on Steam and joining the official Foxhole Discord server. Additionally, players can keep up with further updates by following Siege Camp on Twitter and following the Foxhole subreddit.
