Saber Interactive have announced a release date for upcoming port simulation title Docked, and it’s coming pretty soon: in fact, next month.
March 5th is the release date then, when Docked will hit PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
To celebrate the announcement, Saber has released a new trailer, which you can check out below:
There’s a demo of Docked on Steam already, but we go to play some of it last year, too. In our preview, Kieran said: “The demo lets you work your way through a set of 4 missions across 3 different types of crane, and one of the biggest surprises was that there’s actually a narrative running through it all. You play as Tommy, who is returning to work at the dock when the ship Pathfinder runs into trouble at sea and returns to port in a spot of bother, with shipping containers everywhere and hazardous materials at risk of seeping into the ocean.
You’re thrust back into the exciting world of crane operation as you work to clean up the mess and prevent further damage. It’s not going to win awards for the story, but hearing the chatter on the radio helps remind you you’re not alone out there (even if it sometimes feels like it).”
Here’s the key features, as per the press release:
- Port Wake Calls: From ship to crane to truck and beyond, every job is a vital piece of the business. Manage operations and vehicles, take on important contracts, and make high- priority cargo runs to fulfill your commitments. When wear and tear drags your equipment down, execute repairs under strict deadlines to keep the port moving.
- Operate Powerful Machinery: Take command of a fleet of real-life machines expertly engineered with the raw power and precise handling to get the job done, from colossal ship-to-shore cranes to sturdy, heavy-duty tractors and more. Tighten ropes, position materials, optimize weight distribution, navigate delicate cargo, and gain a firsthand understanding of what it means to work a dock.
- Earn, Invest & Expand: Revitalize Port Wake one crane at a time. Every job you take earns cash to invest in new and more powerful machinery. Sign contracts to create new logistical chains and build up resources, purchase lots to store vehicles, upgrade fuel and power supplies, and conquer new milestones to save and expand the family business.
Docked is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on March 5th.
