Task Force Admiral Launch Trailer

Set during the pivotal opening year of the Pacific War, Task Force Admiral places players in command of U.S. Navy carrier task forces in 1942. From managing reconnaissance and strike coordination to navigating fog of war, delayed communications, and real-time combat, the game delivers an uncompromising simulation of carrier warfare as it was fought.

With full 3D battles, authentic ships and aircraft, realistic ballistics and damage modeling, and multiple command perspectives — from first-person flag plot to God’s-eye view — Task Force Admiral blends classic naval wargaming with modern simulation technology.
