October 6th, 2023 - Siege Camp has officially unveiled the next major update for the massively multiplayer war game, Foxhole. After countless operations on land, the war effort will expand to the seas on October 26th with the upcoming update, Naval Warfare. Step onto the decks of battleships, invade distant shores in high-stakes beach landings, and conquer new island-based territories with thousands of players.
Naval Warfare will engage players in full-fledged naval battles. Across Gunboats, Destroyers, and awe-striking Battleships, soldiers will climb aboard player-built fleets with dozens of players on deck simultaneously. Deliver ammunition, launch depth charges, and deploy sea mines, all while maintaining and regulating ship systems, such as the engines, sonar, and navigation. Players must band together both above and below deck to outmaneuver enemy vessels.
Prepare for intense fleet battles, where moment to moment decisions can be the difference between victory and defeat. Individual ship subsections can be targeted and destroyed causing compartments to become flooded. In the heat of battle, seawater must be bailed out and leaks repaired to stay afloat. The largest threats may loom unseen, as submarines can ambush convoys and thwart naval invasions before they begin. Coordination and communication will be vital when balancing the many hazards that await players in the depths.
The scope and scale of the persistent world has been expanded with the return of water-based regions. Storm beaches with amphibious landing crafts and construct portable harbors to support troops as they fight their way through enemy bunkers, trenches, and emplacements. Logistics forces have also been upgraded with new vessels for sea-based operations and towable field weapons provide increased mobility. This expanded naval game, combined with island warfare, sets the stage for enthralling new campaigns that now span both land and sea.
Naval Warfare simply marks the next chapter of Foxhole. Siege Camp will continue to redefine the massively multiplayer genre across both Foxhole and the upcoming Anvil Empires.
The sea awaits! The Foxhole Naval Warfare update will be arriving on October 26th. Soldiers can prepare for battle by wishlisting Foxhole on Steam and joining the official Foxhole Discord server. Additionally, players can keep up with further updates by following Siege Camp on Twitter and following the Foxhole subreddit.
