About the Game

Set sail in Wyrd Waters, a tactical online multiplayer naval experience where strategy meets mythological chaos! Build custom fleets of fantastical Anglo-Saxon-inspired ships, each with their own quirks and playstyles. Strategize, cooperate or betray your friends, and face off across multiple rounds to determine the true victor!

WHAT TO EXPECT!

  • Gather your Crew - Wyrd Waters is built for 2–8 players, so when that sixth friend hops on the call, you'd better have your fleet ready! Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck users? You're covered too.

  • Build Your Fleet – Choose from 9 uniquely fantastical ships. Get close enough for RAMming or channel the thunder of Thor and pray you don't blow yourself up. There's a ship for your style.

  • Learn Your StrategyMore isn't always better. Every ship is controlled individually! Will you command an armada or master one deadly vessel?

  • Explore the MapsBattle across 6 varied maps, each with unique layouts, hazards, and secrets. Keep your eyes on the Fog of War and the kraken beneath it.

  • Fight for Survival – Time your cooldowns, line up your shot, or hide. Only one sailor walks away.

  • Progress with Runes – Spend the spoils of victory to unlock new ships, maps, and skins. Your style, your fleet, your legend.
