Indie publisher HOOK has announced that it will be publishing the upcoming realistic sailing and foiling simulator Hydrofoil Generation. Hydrofoil Generation is slated for release on PC via Steam in Early Access early 2023. HydroFoil Generation is currently under development by Jaxx Vane Studio and is a passion project from Stefano ‘kunos’ Casillo, co-founder of Kunos Simulazioni, the globally acclaimed studio behind the racing simulation masterpiece Assetto Corsa and is an exciting and accurate first-person simulation of multiplayer “in-shore” regattas.
You can check out the announcement trailer for HydroFoil Generation below before we jump into additional details:
In HydroFoil Generation, you will be put behind the helm of a state-of-the-art sailing craft, modeled with unprecedented accuracy to replicate the exhilarating experience of ‘flying’ over the water at speeds over 50kn. You will take control of your vessel and fine-tune the sailing mechanics of your foils to reduce drag and increase your speed. You can also customize your craft to overcome the demands of the changing winds, sea conditions, and currents as you compete against up to 10 opponents in thrilling multiplayer racers.
The races take place in real-world locations such as Den Haag, Hong Kong, and Bermuda. Since HydroFoil Generation is a pretty demanding and realistic simulator, the fine line between speed and capsizing is always a threat and you will need to push your sailing skills while ensuring that you maintain speed and control over your vessel and not capsize it. Key features of HydroFoil Generation include:
- Realistic sailing and foiling simulator
- Choose from a range of vessels including the 40ft modern foiling monohull Jx40 and the 50ft modern catamaran Jx50
- Created by Stefano “kunos” Casillo former co-founder of Kunos Simulazioni
- Real regatta fields with coastlines carefully recreated
- Vessel customization system
- Compete against 10 opponents in multiplayer racing sessions
The game is slated for an early access release on PC via Steam in early 2023. If you are interested in playing the game when it comes out, a Steam page for the game is now live where you can add the game to your wishlist and follow up for additional details revealed at a later stage.
