Sea Power Update 0.8 Releasing July 4th: Pacific Strike ’85 / Task Force Mode — Sea Power : Naval Combat in the Missile Age News

Hello from the Triassic Games team!

The next major Sea Power update (v0.8.0) is currently planned for release on July 4th, 2026, bringing the new Pacific Strike ’85 campaign, Task Force Mode, and new units to the game.

Sea Power is also 20% off during the Steam sale, so now is a good time to jump in or recommend it to friends before the update arrives.

Pacific Strike ’85 and Task Force Mode

Pacific Strike ’85 is a new NATO campaign set in the Western Pacific in 1985, built around Task Force Mode, a new layer of persistence for campaign play. Players will build and customize a task force, deploy it across linked missions, and manage the consequences of combat over time, including ship and aircraft losses, weapon expenditure, damage, repairs, and resupply. Originally a Workshop campaign, Pacific Strike has been completely rebuilt from the ground up with the new game mode in mind. Command your own task force through a 1985 war in the Western Pacific, taking on a series of connected missions and optional side missions that offer additional risks and major rewards.

Task Force Mode introduces a new management layer for campaigns and supports full persistence across scenarios. This is a critical step in building towards the future Dynamic Campaign.

New Units

The update will also include new units for Sea Power, expanding the forces available in scenarios and campaign missions.

Confirmed units coming in the 0.8.0 release on July 4th:

Australia
- F-111C
- Mirage IIIO (including Mirage III for other operators)
- Adelaide class frigates
- Perth class destroyers
- Oberon class submarines
United States
- Updated Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates (short hull vs long hull)
... and quite a few others :)

Australian Perth class destroyers join the unit roster with the coming update!

Wrap Up

Thank you for your continued support and feedback throughout Early Access. We are excited to get Pacific Strike ’85 and Task Force Mode into your hands on July 4th!
