'Hydrofoil Generation' Leaving Early Access In November, Features Official Global Racing League SailGP Content - Trailer

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.

Hydrofoil Generation is a realistic sailing and foiling simulator from Indie developer Jaxx Vane Studio. A passion project created by Stefano "kunos" Casillo co-founder of Kunos Simulazioni, the developer behind the racing simulation Assetto Corsa.

An exciting and accurate first-person simulation of multiplayer "in-shore" regattas, Hydrofoil Generation is a demanding simulator that will push your skills and passion to the limit.

In Hydrofoil Generation you will sit at the helm of state-of-the-art engineering marvels modeled with unprecedented physical accuracy, sailboats that can "fly" over water to speeds over 50kn. Take control of the course, the sails trim and, most important , the foils. Keep your boat flying as high as possible to maximize speed but not so high to risk coming down with a splash or worse, as capsizing is just around the corner.

Deal with changing winds, different sea conditions, currents and up to 10 opponents in fierce multiplayer races.

Publisher HOOK announced that Hydrofoil Generation, the exhilarating hydrofoil boat racing simulation game, will now feature SailGP’s F50 race boats and team liveries in the full V1.0 launch after entering into an official license agreement with the global league. 

On release, global players enjoying the most accurate sailing simulation will now be able to experience the world’s most exciting racing on-water, first-hand, with SailGP’s high tech, hydrofoiling F50’s – that are capable of speeds close to 100 km/h – now included in the game. 

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. Casillo is back with his two-person development show creating a super accurate first-person simulation of multiplayer "in-shore" regattas. 

Commenting on the official SailGP license feature, Stefano Casillo said: "The entire idea of Hydrofoil Generation started with me and Chax Duero (3D artist and 50% of the Jaxx Vane Studio) watching SailGP races. Having the official boats in the game feels like closing the circle."

Key Features:

  • Realistic sailing and foiling simulator
  • Choose from a range of vessels including the 40ft modern foiling monohull Jx40 and the 50ft modern catamaran Jx50
  • 4 real-life regatta locations with coastlines carefully recreated, including Bermuda and Chicago
  • Vessel customization system 
  • Compete against 10 opponents in multiplayer racing sessions

Currently available through Steam Early Access, Hydrofoil Generation is coming to PC (Steam) in November 2024.
