Evaluation

Silent Depth 2: Pacific entered Steam Early Access on July 16, 2024 and has been receiving a consistent stream of updates throughout its development. The developer has shipped feature patches at a regular cadence, including a Visual Overhaul (February 10, 2025), a three-part Torpedo System Update (June–August 2025), an Enemy Detection AI system (October 14, 2025), and a Controller & Hotkey Binding update (March 22, 2026). The most recent update, posted March 22, 2026, is the last developer communication on record. In it, the developer explicitly describes the next major planned update: a "Landmass" overhaul that will give players free roam of the entire Pacific Ocean, replacing the current confined 2D map with full landmass geometry and a 3D interactive map. The developer describes this as "the target all along" and notes it may ship in multiple parts. A "Visual Overhaul: Part 2" is also mentioned as planned. As of today (September 24, 2026), it has been approximately six months since that post, which is at the outer edge of the established update cadence — but the developer explicitly named these as upcoming features, making them concrete outstanding commitments rather than speculative future content. The game remains at version 0.1.x, well short of the 1.0 release the developer has referenced as the eventual goal. Development has been active and the roadmap has significant work still described as ahead. There is no indication from the developer that Early Access is ending or that the game is nearing completion.

Evidence

Patch 0.1.4 notes describe the next major planned update: a 'Landmass' overhaul giving free roam of the entire Pacific Ocean with full landmass geometry, a 3D interactive map, historically accurate shipping lanes, waypoint system, and a 1-life system. Developer describes this as 'the target all along' and notes it may ship in several parts.

About this game

A Dangerous Game of Cat and Mouse!

You’ve been on patrol for multiple days when you see a fleet on the horizon. Your first instinct is to dive and engage, but it’s a clear day and one of the destroyers has spotted you. Now it’s a fight for survival, a naval game of cat and mouse. Avoid the depth charges whilst you fight back and strike when the enemy is at its most vulnerable, or switch to silent running and lose the enemy in the depths below.

Silent Depth 2: Pacific

Silent Depth 2: Pacific is a sim-lite submarine game, designed for fans looking for an easy-to-learn, arcade-style naval experience without requiring the use of technical manuals or hours of study to manually calculate torpedo launch vectors.

Tailored to fans who fell in love with the original Silent Service series, Silent Depth 2: Pacific is a great choice to ‘get your feet wet’ as we continue to develop new features throughout Early Access.

Much like the highly approachable ‘classic’ submarine games from the past, this game allows you to perform important roles on the ship whilst keeping you focused on maximizing the tonnage you send to the bottom of the ocean. Prepare to scout merchant ships, destroy enemy convoys, launch torpedos, fire your deck guns, and then dive to safety in the deep thermal layers from incoming destroyers.

Key Features:

Approachable ‘cat and mouse’ gameplay set in the Pacific Ocean.
Encounter and evade a variety of enemy fleets & merchant ships on war patrols.
Realistic water simulations for a truly immersive experience.
Intuitive torpedo-based combat with auto-calculated firing solutions, keeping the action fast and furious.
Day and night cycles, offering different challenges and opportunities.
Varied weather conditions can impair visibility, adding an extra layer of complexity.
Sink ships whilst carefully monitoring your limited resources to maximize your daily tonnage score.
A layered damage system that challenges you to react and survive when different ship systems become temporarily or permanently unavailable.

What We're Working On Next

During this Early Access period, we will be hard at work refining and polishing Silent Depth 2: Pacific to deliver the best possible sim-lite submarine experience. We're focusing on implementing a range of feature and quality-of-life improvements from short-term ‘upcoming’ to longer-term goals prior to going 1.0 Please refer to the Roadmap below and join the Discord to share your feedback, experiences and meet the community.
