Press release:
Milan, Italy – 18 January 2023.
The Milan-based (Italy) indie games publisher HOOK and Den Haag-based (The Netherlands) indie games developer Jaxx Vane Studio, today announced with great delight and excitementthat their realistic sailing and foiling sim “Hydrofoil Generation“, is coming to PC via Steam Early Access in early 2023.

Developed by Jaxx Vane Studio, Hydrofoil Generation 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.

“I was amazed the first time I saw hydrofoil boats racing in real life, and I immediately fell in love with the experience”, commented Stefano Casillo.

“With my experience working with Assetto Corsa, I wanted to replicate hydrofoil racing in a game for simulation fans to enjoy.”

Hydrofoil Generation puts you at the helm of state-of-the-art sailing craft, modelled with unprecedented accuracy to replicate the exhilarating experience of ‘flying’ over the water at speeds over 50kn. Take control of your vessel and fine-tune the sailing mechanics of your foils to reduce drag and increase your speed.

Customise 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 in exciting locations such as Den Haag, Hong Kong and Bermuda. Thanks to Hydrofoil Generation’s demanding and realistic simulator mechanics, the fine line between speed and capsizing is a continual threat and will not only push your sailing skills but your vessel to the very limit.
