Wolfpack

Wolfpack is a first-person submarine game in which players crew a German Type VII U-boat. You intercept and sink enemy ships, then try to escape undetected. Players interact directly with the boat’s valves, levers and instruments to operate it.

Crew the U-boat

The U-boat is fully operational and interactive, with stations and instruments modeled after original pictures and sources. You can play in multiplayer or solo with bots, and control one or several U-boats. The game includes tools and systems for navigation, combat and communication:

• Advanced plotting tools for planning attacks and navigating.
• Manually operated diesel engines and electric motors.
• Dive planes and rudders.
• Ballast tanks, trim tanks and air vents.
• Periscopes and a torpedo data computer.
• A hydrophone for finding targets and avoiding the enemy.
• A deck gun and an anti-aircraft gun.
• Voice tubes and intercoms for communication throughout the boat.
• Radio communication between U-boats using real-time, Enigma-encrypted Morse code.

Skirmish mode

The current game mode, Skirmish, sets players against an escorted convoy in an open-sea battle. The objective is to attack and destroy the convoy’s ships. Games use peer-to-peer multiplayer, with one player hosting.

Career and versus modes

Career mode is described as an open-world mode in which players can travel anywhere on Earth, with progress saved between sessions. It is divided into chapters covering portions of the war from 1939 to 1945; the first chapter is planned for the mode’s initial release, with more chapters to follow. The mode also includes manual navigation, more enemy unit types and a versus mode, while Skirmish remains available.

In versus mode, one team commands one or several Flower class corvettes defending a convoy, while the other plays as U-boats. The playable corvette is in an alpha stage, with many systems missing.

Further additions

The game’s listed further development includes player-run dedicated servers, new character models, a U-boat damage model with flooding, manual torpedo reloading, a mission editor, U-boat upgrades and new enemy ships.
