"The original SHIII Dev Team have been moved onto various other projects and are offering their assistance to the community as they can in their own free time. It was Ubisofts decision not to make available a SDK for SHIII, the Dev Team are only employees. However, it is only through the grace of Ubisoft that the SHIII Dev Team have been able to make such generous offers. So let’s not get into ‘yer but they said’ etc, it will not change anything."

"In May, the SHIII Dev Team had mostly been split up. Some having been moved onto other projects, and in some cases they have left Ubisoft.
Let me clarify something. There is NO add on for SHIII, there is at this stage NO SHIV.
Guys, you need to understand, SHIII is a finished project for Ubisoft. Finished, no more patches and no add ons, nothing. I would not rule out a SHIV, but I am 99% sure that ther most likely will not be one anytime in the next few years."

@TeddyBear: Now can we trust you that this is the "official unofficial" announcement that there will be no further development of sh4??

Does this come that much as a surprise? I was incredulous when SHIII was announced three years ago, and I was much more incredulous when it came out and I saw what a serious and thorough simulation it was. Exactly the game the subsim community had craved for.
Now IMO this type of hard core sim has no chance on todays market whatsoever and UBI must have known it (and developed it anyway, thx UBI). Especially I want to thank the romanian developers, who have put all their life blood into this game, and it shows. You guys are great. Ten years after AOD you have created the first uboat simulation that surpasses it, now lets see how long it takes until another one comes.

What do you think?
