Silent Hunter IV: Underway

Exciting news for SH3 fans, Ubisoft has begun planning work on Silent Hunter IV. The new development team has been assembled, returning many of the SH3 seniors from programming, graphics, and design, under the direction of a new producer. The team is currently in the planning phase with work to begin at once.  Silent Hunter IV will return the series to the Pacific, with American submarines taking the starring role. SH4 will use the same game engine and dynamic campaign as SH3 with some improvements.

Silent Hunter 3 Wins an Award!

SimHQ have recently awarded Silent Hunter III an award for 'best commercially available naval sim' for 2005, which is rather nice of them. They say "The Naval Combat genre isn't a large one, but despite its StarForce woes Silent Hunter III was a solid title that has with its high quality graphics, innovative features and game play have set a very high standard for naval simulations."  

Best Simulation Game of the Year!

It is traditional as the year closes for the game sites to announce their Game of the Year awards and this year looks very promising for Silent Hunter III. With no less than 3 awards already, it looks like the devs from Ubisoft's Bucharest Studio will spend a very nice Christmas.
