Indie developer SOGA Studio is diving deep into the world of underwater simulation games with Weldiver, an exciting new title that combines the oceanic exploration of Subnautica with the survival aspects of The Forest. Slated for release on PC via Steam in Q2 2025, Weldiver promises to offer a thrilling experience for fans of both simulation and survival genres.
Oceanic-themed games have been making waves in recent years, with hits like Dave the Diver, Dredge, and Subnautica: Below Zero capturing the imagination of players and critics alike. Weldiver aims to build on this success by taking players to the depths of the ocean, where survival depends on both skill and strategy.
SOGA Studio recently unveiled the first official trailer for Weldiver, giving fans a taste of what’s to come. Players will step into the shoes of an underwater welder, tasked with completing a series of high-stakes jobs across different oceanic environments. From salvaging wrecked submarines to welding massive oil rigs, the game combines a rich mix of action and danger, with players facing off against menacing predators in shark-infested waters.
Each mission takes place in one of several diverse biomes, and players must navigate a balance of time management and precision under intense pressure. Tasks will require careful planning and gear upgrades to overcome increasingly challenging situations. For fans of games like Subnautica, Weldiver promises an immersive and exhilarating underwater experience with a fresh twist.
The official trailer also highlights gameplay features such as welding mechanics, a dynamic day-night cycle, and both boat travel and scuba diving as the primary means of exploration. A central base will store essential equipment and act as a hub for players to manage their missions and resources. Fans of The Forest will recognize the survival-driven gameplay elements, where danger is always lurking, and every decision counts.
While underwater levels in games often receive mixed reactions, fully aquatic-themed titles like Subnautica have proven that the deep-sea setting has serious potential. With Weldiver coming in 2025, SOGA Studio is poised to give players another unforgettable dive into the ocean’s mysteries.
