About the Game

BATTLE TO SAVE THE PIRATE'S LIFE

Avast, matey! Rough seas await in Battlewake, a fantasy naval combat game built for VR from the creators of Raw Data and CREED: Rise to Glory. Play as 4 mythical pirate lords, captain massive battle-ready warships, and summon ancient powers as you set sail on a larger-than-life nautical war for the ages.

FIGHT FOR DOMINION

From the helm of your warship, wage war upon the high-seas as 4 mythical Pirate Lords—Diego the Dreaded, Rev the Relentless, Calavera the Undying, and Zhang the Magnificent—locked in a constant struggle for dominion over Battlewake’s ever-churning waters.

3 GAME MODES FOR SOLO, CO-OP OR PVP ACTION

- Navigate the tall tales of the 4 fearsome Pirate Lords in Battlewake's 1-2p Campaign Mode
- Rack up experience and gold with dynamic, endless objectives in 1-4p Warfare mode
- Embrace the pirate's life in 2-10p PvP deathmatch Plunder

MASTER UNIQUE ULTIMATES AND ABILITIES

Turn the tide in your favor with each Pirate Lords' unique ultimates: unleash mighty tsunamis, send enemies’ ships flying in maelstroms, destroy hulls with bone spikes, and literally release the Kraken.

EARN EXPERIENCE TO UPGRADE YOUR CAPTAIN & SHIP

Spend earned gold to boost your ship’s stats and level up your Pirate Lord. Upgrade your arsenal with 13 different real and fantastical ship-based weapons, including flak cannons, ballistae, axe-throwers, chain cannons, mortars, and more.

DESIGNED FOR VR COMFORT

Utilizing Survios' Immersive Vehicle System, experience the thrills of high-stakes naval combat without triggering nausea, even as your ship pitches, yaws, turns, rams, plunges, and—if you’re not wily enough—sinks.
