The open sea is calling... are you ready for an adventure? Maybe one that will unearth long buried mysteries and change the world? Sail Forth takes you to a deep and beautiful planet. One that's also full of mad scientists, menacing pirates, magical merpeople, and mystifying lighthouse keepers. Each distinct setting in the game introduces new allies to help you. So you can uncover more information about this strange blue planet. In order to survive the dangers lurking on the high seas, you'll have to build up your fleet of ships. Then arm them with enough firepower to take down some big bad monsters. Sail Forth will have you face giant crabs, ice golems, and a kraken. These creatures may be hiding the secret to the biggest mystery. This is also unknown to the society of the Deepblue, if you're outfitted enough to face them. While previously announced for release this year. Sail Forth has grown from a sailing simulation game to a full blown oceanic adventure. While offering tons of new content, quests, characters, and story over the past year. With the scope of the game growing beyond our original plan, the release is pushed to next year.

Sail Forth docks on Nintendo Switch in 2020

Croaker Command update is a completely free upgrade for Sail Forth on Steam Deck, Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to the ongoing creative talents of developer Festive Vector. Which you can find on both Steam and Humble Store. The moment you think you’ve fully mastered Sail Forth, it hits you with that classic “oh, you thought we were done?” energy. Since the Croaker Command update isn’t just a patch, it’s the kind of post-story twist that makes you sit up in your chair and mutter, “Okay… we’re doing this.” And yeah, as a Linux PC player? This one feels extra good. Big update, free for everyone, and packed with the kind of content that makes the game feel fresh without wrecking the vibe on Steam Deck,.

After the Autumn Isles… the Croakers need you

So here’s where things get spicy. The Battle for Croaker Command update takes place after you defeat the boss of the Autumn Isles. You’d think that would be the victory lap, right? But nope, the Croakers basically pull you into a whole new phase of the adventure. The kind where you’re not just sailing for fun anymore. You’re building something that matters. You work with the Croakers to build a brand-new Command Center, and that single change becomes the gateway to a bunch of new buildings and systems that make the world feel more alive. And honestly? It feels like the devs are rewarding players who stuck it out and finished the big stuff.

This Command Center isn’t decoration in the Croaker update

The best part is how personal the Croaker Command update feels. You’re not just unlocking menus. You’re shaping this little Croaker hub like it’s your slice of the sea. You get the Angler Bait Shop, which is basically the fishing upgrade I didn’t know I needed. You can trade fish for specialized bait that makes it way more likely to catch new fish from the biome you’re in. Snd the game automatically uses the bait when it’s relevant. That tiny convenience detail? Chef’s kiss. Then there’s the Croaker Cantina, and if you’re a Blowfish fan… buddy, this is your moment. You can play Blowfish with different NPCs, and it’s honestly wild how much that adds to the world. It’s not just a minigame now, it feels like you’re hanging out in a real port. And yes, we also get the Fish Pond, which is exactly as wholesome and chaotic as it sounds. You can store any number of fish and literally watch them swim around. Show off your best catches, or live your truth and cram it with yuckfish like a menace.

Guard Towers, a new boss… and it’s not messing around

Here’s where the Croaker Command update flips from cozy to “oh no.” You’ll also be building Guard Towers, and they’re not just pretty scenery. You need to place them strategically and work alongside them to defend the Command Center against a brand-new boss: the Tekk Destroyer. It’s the Tekk Clan’s new army weapon, and the vibe is very much “this is a threat, not a side quest.” The update builds tension really well here — you’re suddenly defending the place you helped create, which makes the stakes feel way higher than usual.

The reward is the kind of ship you brag about

If you manage to defeat the Tekk Destroyer army, the reward is straight-up legendary: the Croaker Flagship the newest and most powerful ship in the game. And it has frog foot paddles. Yes, really. That means it gets powered movement even when under sail, which is such a perfect “Croaker” idea it feels like it belonged in the game from day one. It’s not just a stronger ship. It’s a flex.

New Game Plus is finally here (and it’s actually exciting)

Okay, Linux friends… this is the part I’ve seen people begging for. The Croaker Command update also introduces New Game Plus, which lets you start a “new” game inside your completed save. It randomly regenerates the world map, and resets quest/story progress, but you keep your fleet, inventory, and stored boats. So you get that fresh exploration feeling again, without losing the grind you already earned. That’s such a smart way to do it. You keep your identity as a seasoned sailor, but the world becomes unknown again.

Free Croaker Command update, every platform, Linux included

Sail Forth checks all the boxed when it comes to being an immersive rich and enjoyable sailing experience.

A Voyage of Adventure and Wonder When I started Sail Forth, I was amused and curious when about the premise. Quirk? Check. Sailing? Amazing. Adventure? Even better. I obviously enjoy games that involve sailing with the promise of explorable worlds. I would say the game is surprisingly refreshingly as it doesn’t take itself seriously while delivering genuine fun. Sail Forth is an adorable gem in…
