Dear Destroyer fans, It is with great pleasure that we can finally bring Destroyer to a new platform, namely Mac. In the meantime, we continue to tackle stability issues which could lead to crashes on less powerful setups, especially if the selected display options were too tough for a particular machine to handle. Alongside, we have managed to further optimize the game to ensure smoother running on all configurations. We hope that you will continue to enjoy Destroyer, and we wish you many successfully defended convoys! Artur Salwarowski Destroyer Lead Designer Iron Wolf Studio 🔗 https://link

Dear Destroyer fans, The recently added bug reporter has worked even better than we had thought, almost instantly revealing a few issues that were rather tricky to pinpoint, but, with your help, also very quick to fix. We are, therefore, rolling out a hotfix to squash the bugs that you have kindly reported. As always, the list of changes is presented below. P.S. Some bugs, such as repeating ship names, may still occur after loading a save game from a previous version. Whenever possible, we recommend avoiding the use of old saves.

Dear Destroyer fans, As time passes, there are fewer and fewer bugs being reported by you. While this is a good thing, at the same time, some of the issues that you have reported are quite difficult to reproduce on our end, which also makes them more difficult to fix. Therefore, we have added a bug reporting functionality so that whenever an issue occurs, you can report it to us quickly. Not only does it allow you to fill in a description of the issue, but it also automatically sends us the copies of a few important files from your game, allowing us to investigate the nature of such a bug much

Dear Destroyer fans, The time has finally come to release version 1.0, together with its long-awaited Career Mode. Our convoy has reached its destination after a long voyage, and we can at last celebrate the moment when our precious war material finds its way into the hands of the recipients. It has been a perilous journey and we have lost a few ships on the way, but we have also sent many U-boats to the bottom. All in all, our voyage across the Atlantic has been one hell of a battle! We sincerely hope that the Career Mode will provide what a lot of you have requested from the very beginning o

Dear fans of Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter, We are excited to announce that the development of Destroyer is nearing the finish line. However, while we are eager to deliver what we have been working on, the exact release date is still to be set in stone. We are at the moment determining the best possible timeframe to guarantee a smooth launch, and so far everything looks like a Winter period (late 2023 to early 2024) is the most plausible scenario. It has been a long and thrilling journey and we are grateful for your, as well as our publisher’s ongoing support. The latter allowed us to accomplis

Dear Destroyer fans, The time has come to reveal our next battle variant: ‘Icefield’. In this type of battle, our convoy is attacked by U-boats while making its way through sea ice. This is a tough challenge on many levels, as not only do you have to repel the enemy, but you have to do it while surviving the extreme conditions that nature has thrown at you. First of all, icebergs constitute a deadly threat to all ships in the convoy, so you will have to be extra careful with your maneuvering. To make matters worse, you will have a tough time maintaining your radar contacts, as the radar will b

Dear Destroyer fans, As we move ever closer to version 1.0, there is a lot to look forward to, but also many obstacles to overcome. We are at an exciting (but at the same time difficult) point in development where we are stretched thin between working on the campaign, applying current gameplay fixes and adding new features to the game. Each of these on its own would be a big workload for our little team, but handling all three at the same time is really causing the project to almost reach critical mass. However, we are steadily moving forward and, hopefully, tackling some of the issues you hav

Dear Destroyer fans, As we keep on working to bring you version 1.0, most of our programming efforts are focused on providing the best campaign experience that we can deliver. In the meantime, we have upgraded our project to a more recent Unity version in order to enhance the visuals and make the most of the technological solutions available to us at the moment. Therefore, our new update mostly focuses on the visual side of things - new sky, new volumetric clouds, enhanced VFX, and a new performance mode to allow for smoother running on older machines (full list of upgrades below).

Dear Destroyer fans, Christmas is drawing near and we are excited to bring you another Destroyer update in anticipation of this celebrated time of the year. As always, we focused on responding to the most frequently recurring issues in your feedback, and the difficulty to sink submarines seemed like an important point for many of you. Therefore, we have decided to introduce difficulty level settings which allow you to both control how many submarines attack, but also how powerful your depth charges are. This way, you can make your engagements less intense and hone your skills against smaller w
