Barotrauma, the sci-fi submarine simulator, has officially launched after almost four years in Early Access on Steam. Developed by FakeFish and Undertow Games, and published by Daedalic Entertainment, the game takes place on Jupiter’s frozen moon Europa where players navigate the depths of the ocean and complete various missions in a single-player campaign or co-op mode with up to 16 players.
The game has undergone many improvements since its initial launch in the summer of 2019, thanks in part to feedback from the game’s active and passionate community of over 30,000 Discord members and 60,000 player-made entries on the Steam Workshop. The campaign and tutorials have been overhauled, new monsters, missions, and outposts have been added, and the graphics and environments have been improved. The developers have even added a player-made submarine to the base game as part of a community competition, showing their devotion to their players and fanbase.
To celebrate the game’s official launch, Daedalic Entertainment and the developers have released a new video that immerses players in the depths of Europa. The Full Launch trailer can be viewed below.
One of the unique aspects of Barotrauma is its procedurally generated levels, ridiculous ragdoll physics, and full mod support, which add to the game’s chaotic fun. But players should beware, as some threats are closer than they think. Multiplayer’s traitor mode option may randomly assign players as secret conspirators, complete with their own individual missions like assassination and sabotage.
Overall, Barotrauma’s full launch marks a significant milestone for the game and its developers. Fans of the sci-fi genre, submarine simulations, and co-op games should definitely check out this exciting title now that it’s finally out of Early Access.
