Happy official Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 reveal day! Developed by Infinity Ward, Modern Warfare 4 is set in a rapidly escalating global conflict centered on the Korean Peninsula.

Today, videogame publisher Matrix Games and developer Wave Ops launch the Early Access of Modern Naval Warfare, an uncompromisingly realistic submarine simulator that places players inside the steel hull of a nuclear-powered Virginia-class attack submarine.

This is the Dark Souls of naval simulators: brutally complex, deeply realistic, and incredibly rewarding for those willing to master it. Modern Naval Warfare is not a game for everyone. It is a hardcore simulation designed for players who dream of spending hours studying a 300-page operations manual, analyzing Pacific Ocean seabed maps, and lying silently on the ocean floor while hunting enemy vessels in total darkness.

Every system aboard the submarine has been recreated with obsessive attention to detail. Sonar tracking, navigation, tactical positioning, stealth operations, and weapons deployment all require patience, coordination, and technical understanding. There are no shortcuts, no arcade mechanics, and no instant gratification, only the slow-burning tension of modern submarine warfare.

The game launches with an 18-mission single-player campaign inspired by a realistic geopolitical scenario: a large-scale naval conflict between the United States and China in the Pacific theater. Players will conduct covert reconnaissance, shadow enemy fleets, evade detection, and engage in high-risk underwater operations where a single mistake can mean destruction.

Early Access Vs Final Version
Although the game is already feature-complete in its core systems, Wave Ops and Matrix Games have chosen to release Modern Naval Warfare in Early Access due to the extraordinary complexity of the simulation. This approach will allow the team to continue refining gameplay systems, balancing mechanics, expanding content, improving the documentation and introducing additional full multiplayer ship vs ship functionality in close collaboration with the community over the coming months. Modern Naval Warfare will also support cooperative multiplayer. Each crew member can take control of a dedicated station aboard the submarine control room: one player pilots the vessel, another manages sonar operations, another handles navigation and route plotting, while others coordinate tactical systems and combat decisions.

Modern Naval Warfare is out now on Steam in Early Access.

TaleWorlds Entertainment today announced the release of a major new patch for both Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord and War Sails, its naval expansion [WS v1.2 / BL v1.4]. The updates introduce a wealth of new content and improvements across both titles, marking the latest milestone in TaleWorlds’ ongoing commitment to expanding and evolving both Bannerlord and the War Sails experience.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord – War Sails – Accolades Trailer

SEABORNE VILLAGE RAIDS (War Sails)

The centrepiece of the War Sails update v1.2 is the introduction of Seaborne Village Raids – a brand new feature that brings the brutal coastal assault tactics of the Viking era to both the Campaign and Mission gameplay. Players and AI lords can now launch or defend raids on coastal settlements directly from the sea or rivers, requiring shallow draft ships and a crew of at least 15 troops. Village militia will assess the balance of power and either stand and fight – triggering a seaborne village raid mission – or yield, allowing looting to begin immediately. The feature deepens naval strategy, increases lord activity at sea, and introduces new fleet considerations that add fresh layers to campaign planning.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Updates

• HIDEOUTS – Improved hideout gameplay with more flexible stealth options and distinct rewards for stealth and assault approaches.
• DIPLOMACY – Overhauled diplomacy featuring smarter wars, deeper alliances, trade agreements, and meaningful consequences that reflect the evolving political landscape.
• BATTLES & SIEGES – Refined combat with more forgiving outcomes, smarter AI, and improved unit balance.
• ARMY CHANGES – Armies now require a more substantial force to form and will disband more quickly if too weak to attack, resulting in fewer but stronger armies on the map. This also leaves more noble parties free to respond to threats, strengthening settlement defence – while auto-resolved sieges now take twice as long, giving reinforcements time to arrive.

War Sails Updates

• SEABORNE VILLAGE RAIDS – Coastal villages can now be raided directly from the sea or rivers, with village militia either standing their ground or yielding – triggering different outcomes across both Campaign and Mission gameplay.
• INCREASED NAVAL ACTIVITY – Enemy nobles now actively target coastal ports and sea lanes during wartime, while rebalanced AI drives greater naval travel across all factions – increasing the frequency of meaningful encounters at sea.
• NAVAL BATTLE MISSION CHANGES – Naval battles have been refined for a smoother, more engaging experience. Players can now delegate control of their ship to the crew, freeing them to move and fight independently.
• NEW ROLES & WANDERERS – Two new naval party roles bring more options to crew management, alongside three new Nord wanderer types.
• 2 NEW SHIPS – The Battanian Barlinnger, a slower, sturdier vessel built for larger engagements with strong ranged capabilities, and the Nord Battle Knarr, a reinforced ship designed to carry ballistae and larger crews.
• NEW BODY ARMORS & HELMETS – Two new body armours – the Reinforced Mail Coat and the Nordic Long Heavy Mail – arrive alongside nine new Nord helmets, including the Nordic Spectacle Helmet and the Brass Vendel Helmet.

Player Units

Infantry/Marines

Infantry is the basic branch of the military. It is the most flexible and versatile. It can attack, defend, assault, or retreat. All of these options should be used according to the situation. Infantry under heavy fire (airstrike or artillery) will have a debuff (less accuracy, worse sight and movement speed) applied for a period of time. Marines are better infantry overall. They are faster, have better sight, more hp, stamina and firepower.

Infantry/Marines can have one of specializations: reconnaissance, flamethrower, or anti-tank. A recon unit can detect enemies from further away, they are faster and harder to detect. On the other hand they are also weaker (less hp and firepower). A unit equipped with flamethrowers is great at close distances, especially vs infantry in fortifications, but its slower and have less hp. A unit equipped with anti-tank guns is able to do serious damage to enemy tanks (standard infantry will do a lot less damage to tanks). They are slower than standard infantry.

Tanks

Tanks are very powerful. They have great durability, firepower, range and speed. They can place a small smoke screen at their locations. They are a great boost in every encounter, but they have their limitations. They have limited fuel and ammo. Run out of any of it and they will be rendered almost useless.

Tanks are maneuverable, but the terrain has its own challenges. Tanks cannot pass through dense forests or jungles. They must use roads there. Armor provides cover and a gun provides firepower. However, tanks are are not invincible. Therefore, it is important to ensure cover by infantry.

Destroyer/Artillery Support

Artillery support is provided by the Navy. A destroyer will be available for some missions. Artillery support has saved troops from trouble more than once in history. It’s worth using this support, but there are a few things to watch out for. After a salvo, the guns must be cooled. This takes time. The ship’s ammunition supply is not infinite. The enemy may have coastal guns. They pose a threat to your ship, as do naval mines.

Destroyer has 3 types of shells: standard, smoke, and agitation. Standard shells deal damage to everyone within the area of attack. Smoke shells create a smoke large smoke-screen at the target location, allowing ground units to advance or retreat more safely. Agitation shells constantly lower morale of every enemy in range for a period of time. Destroyer can also place a smaller smoke-screen at their location.

Oh… the artillery officer’s callsign is “Argument.” It seems appropriate.

Aviation

There is aviation in the game. Bomber and reconnaissance aircraft are available in some scenarios. Aircraft take off from an aircraft carrier. You are assigned several aircraft for the mission. Their number is not infinite.

It takes some time to prepare the planes to take off. Planes cannot fly at night. Reconnaissance aircraft will circle the battlefield, and you can redirect them to another area. This is a very powerful scouting tool. Enemies detected by recon planes will be more visible to our ground units. The flight will continue until the fuel reaches critical level and the planes will have to return to the carrier. You will be assigned bombers to carry out airstrikes. After dropping their bombs, they return to the aircraft carrier to rearm. Planes are very vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire. The enemy may have such guns.

Today we’re sharing our fourth Dev Blog for Veterans: Napoleonic Wars! This time, we are excited to showcase new game mechanics, new unit art, and new historical maps we are working on.

Army Management, New Unit Portraits, and Maps Showcase

A major focus for us has been preparation before the battle. We are introducing Pre-Battle Army Management. You can now visit the Arsenal to buy new weapons and equip your infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and manage your soldiers in the Barracks to make sure your army is ready for war.

We are also bringing more personality to your army with new Unit Portraits. When you select your troops, you will now see detailed 2D art for different types of soldiers, officers, and cavalry. Alongside this, we are working hard on new environments and sharing an early look at four historical battlefields: the Battle of Mondovì, the Battle of Arcole, the Battle of Lodi with its famous bridge, and the Battle of Rivoli, which introduces winter landscapes and snow.

Finally, we are adding Night Missions, where you will have to command your army in the dark. This creates a very different atmosphere, with musket flashes lighting up the night battlefield.
