Based on the Deadliest Catch TV show, Deadliest Catch: The Game will let players enter the dangerous world of king crab fishing in the deadly Bering Sea.

Hey, you! Yes, you! Do you want to be a landlubber your whole life? Or maybe you dream of making a fortune, sailing dangerous seas and learning the secrets of king crab catchers? Are you not afraid of risk, storms and crab claws? If you are brave enough, come with me to Dutch Harbor!

Take command of your own fishing vessel, use realistic equipment, combat hazardous Alaskan waters and become the world's best crab catcher!

For a few days every year, experienced crab catchers and greenhorns brave the elements side by side, putting their health and life on the line. The goal is to earn a fortune and become known as the best crab catcher. Now you can become one of them!

In Deadliest Catch: The Game you will compete with dangerous sea rallies to catch more crabs than you ever thought possible. The task is not simple – it is a battle against time, fishing quotas, crab migrations, and most importantly: the sea. Such is your underwater fate.


Developer Moonlit and publisher Ultimate Games have launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to further expand the game, looking to raise $11,317.

Works on the game are currently underway. The fundraising on the Kickstarter platform will allow the further expansion of the title. The primary goal of the campaign was set for 15 thousand Canadian dollars. Exceeding the next thresholds will enable preparation of additional elements that fans are asking for. As Moonlit studio indicates, this would include expanding the staff management system and a multiplayer mode.

The game is created on the license of the series produced by the Discovery Channel since 2005. The creators indicate that this game will offer accurate reproduction of the conditions known from the program and will stand out with its specificity, high realism and attention to the smallest detail. In Deadliest Catch: The Game players will find, among other things, dynamic weather conditions system and realistic water physics.

“Deadliest Catch is one of the most interesting documentary series, which is confirmed by its unflagging popularity and numerous awards, including the prestigious Emmy Awards. The game, of course, is directed to fans of the series, but without any problems, people who are not familiar with this brand on the Discovery Channel will also enjoy it. The project is created by a team of talented enthusiasts whose goal is to provide high-level, realistic entertainment. In the work on the project, we also used the experience gained in creating and publishing a game with a very similar subject – Ultimate Fishing Simulator. It is worth emphasizing here, that it is currently the best-assessed fishing game in the history of the Steam platform” says the CEO of Ultimate Games S.A., Mateusz Zawadzki.

Deadliest Catch: The Game will be coming to Steam Early Access on November 14, 2019, with plans to subsequently release the game on Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.

Your ship is no different from those that sail from Dutch Harbor every fall to seek a fortune in the marine abyss. You will conn your vessel in all conditions: breeze or gale, no storm can scare you, however terrifying it may look. The troubled sea, the soaked ship deck, the vessel floating on the waves - and you to overcome it all!

At your disposal we leave not only this fishing vessel, but also all the onboard equipment - the crane, the winch, the launcher, and the coiling system. We will teach you to use them, step by step. Remember, no-one was born with the rudder - or a crab - in their hand. However, you will manage the vessel by yourself - as captain and fisherman at the same time. All devices are handled by you in first-person mode to have the best view of everything happening on your boat. You will also get original crab pots - thanks to them you will be able to pick out all the crabs from the vastness of Bering Sea.

Remember that you must follow Alaskan law. Not all crabs can be caught and sold! A realistic 3D model will help you judge whether you have caught a handsome and expensive male, a protected female, or a baby. Analyze the water and seabed to better predict where crabs may be found.

Nature will not be your only opponent. Match your skills against the computer and other players! Invite your friends to compete for the title of the best crab catcher. Load your pots on board, sit at the controls of your ship and see which one of you is the fastest and most effective in catching your crab fortune from the bottom of the sea!
