Modern Naval Warfare - Before You Buy
Modern Naval Warfare releases May 18, 2026 - and this is one of the most uncompromising tactical submarine simulations ever made. You're commanding a Virginia-class nuclear attack submarine in the South China Sea, where you never see your enemy. You only hear them. Developed by Wave Ops, published by Matrix Games.
18-mission technothriller campaign, fully simulated sonar and acoustic systems, clickable Virginia-class interiors, real-world GIS data, dynamic weather, and cooperative multiplayer where friends take different stations aboard the same submarine. The depth here is staggering - but so is the learning curve. This is not a game for everyone and I'll tell you exactly who it is and isn't for.
Watch the breakdown, then judge the gameplay footage yourself.
