In observance of the 65th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, global video game publisher 505 Games and developer Artech Studios today revealed new naval vessels and screens for the upcoming WWII-inspired submarine action title Naval Assault: The Killing Tide. Exclusively for Xbox 360™, Naval Assault: The Killing Tide is the first submarine-based combat title on this generation of consoles and will be available nationwide on June 15.
Players can now get a closer look at the submarines they can unlock throughout the game’s treacherous, deep sea missions in the North Atlantic, battling enemy vessels in the air, sea and on land. All submarines have each been created exclusively for Naval Assault: The Killing Tide with varying degrees of speed, turn rates, depth change, weaponry and more. Players will learn to adapt their strategy as they utilize each craft’s strengths and weaknesses in battles against oil tankers, cargo ships, destroyers, frigates and battleships through multiple combat zones.
Getting underway from New York Harbor, Naval Assault: The Killing Tide tells the story of the Allied submariner effort against Axis forces across the key naval warzones of World War II. Players will captain an arsenal of Naval submarines against enemy warship assaults both above and below the water’s surface. In Naval Assault: The Killing Tide, players will need a healthy dose of stealth and cunning as well as sharp shooting deck gun and torpedo skills to successfully destroy the enemy fleets in the 30 missions throughout the game. Naval Assault: The Killing Tide will support single player and up to four player online multiplayer modes. The title will be published by 505 Games exclusively for Xbox 360 on June 15, 2010.
