Some landing craft arrive on a beach in Foxhole: Naval Warfare.

Foxholeis a massively multiplayer battlefield in which players can be frontline soldiers or part of a rear detachment providing supplies and logistical support. A major free update is out today, Naval Warfare, which as the name suggets brings that persistent online war to the sea, with gunboats, destroyers and beach landings to contend with.

Here’s a launch trailer:

Players will be responsible for every part of running their ships, from maintaining its engines, sonar and navigation systems, to delivering ammunition, firing the guns, and outmanouvering enemies. In combat, crews will be able to target specific subsections of enemy ships, causing destroyed compartments to become flooded and forcing enemy players to abandon their posts to help bail out water to stay afloat.

There are also submarines, which can ambush convoys of ships if they’re not detected via depth charges. Given Foxhole is set during World War 2, there are naturally also amphibious landing craft for performing beach landings.
