I've done some digging, and this does indeed appear to be real (unfortunately). Though it's definitely not a Silent Hunter game.

Yes indeed here is Gamespot's preview Inteesting to note that it comes from Artech who developed the original "Das Boot" arcadey PC subsim many moons ago!

Take a look at the titles they have developed over the years right back to the C64 era great to see they have survived this long and still have the same guys at the top

And here i was thinking it was another funny April fools joke.

Good luck to them, but i doubt it will work.

Lol....it's not an April Fools? Really? Superb!

I like how the 'health bar'(sub?) is a Los Angeles SSN! ROFL!

Everyone is laughing and that's great. I hate to rain on the parade but I wonder what this will mean for PC sub sims if a console sub sim is an enormous hit and sells like hotcakes? Will Ubisoft just cut to the chase?

It could also go the other way, Artech now have some of the elements of a naval sim here however arcadey in this XBox implementation, although they developed the rather cheesy sim-lite "Das Boot" PC VGA game they also developed Megafortress for 360 Pacific which was fairly hardcore and a good game, so who knows maybe they could take this and turn it into a PC sim as a challenger to Ubisoft?
