Press release:
November 18th 2025 – MicroProse is proud to announce Battleship Command, an immersive World War II naval simulation where players step aboard the mighty Scharnhorst and lead her through the stormy Atlantic, Arctic, and Mediterranean seas.

About Battleship Command

In Battleship Command, you don’t just control the ship – you live aboard it.
Walk the decks of the Scharnhorst, issue orders to your crew, and take direct control of radar, gunnery, and navigation systems recreated from historical blueprints. Engage Allied convoys, hunt in the icy North, or fight under Mediterranean skies as you command one of history’s most iconic battleships.

Every shell fired, every wave struck, and every decision made carries weight in this detailed and dynamic simulation of naval warfare.
