MicroProse is pleased to announce that Battleship Command is now available in Early Access on Steam, inviting players to take command of one of the most iconic warships of the Second World War: the mighty Scharnhorst.
Blending first-person immersion, naval simulation, and tactical fleet command, Battleship Command places players aboard a meticulously recreated Scharnhorst-class battleship, where they can freely explore decks and interiors, operate authentic WWII naval systems, and lead combat operations across dangerous waters.
Players may issue commands to their crew or take direct control of key stations, including gunnery, radar, navigation, and damage control, while engaging enemy convoys and warships across dynamic battlefields shaped by weather, visibility, and time of day.
From the icy Norwegian Sea to the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean waters, captains must navigate shifting conditions, coordinate fleet maneuvers, and outthink the enemy to survive increasingly dangerous encounters at sea.
