We’re proud to announce that our Naval wargame, Battleline: Taiwan Defense, has been selected as a finalist in the Serious Games Showcase & Challenge at I/ITSEC 2025, one of the industry's most rigorous competitions celebrating games that transform learning.
Training at the Point of Need:
China launches a full-scale invasion of Taiwan. You're commanding the USS Halsey Blake, racing to protect a carrier strike group from enemy submarines. Your mission? Navigate 1,230 nautical miles of contested waters and deliver 4,500 sailors safely to Okinawa. This isn't just another military simulation. Battleline delivers mission-critical anti-submarine warfare training onboard ships, no classroom required, no scheduling conflicts. Players master the complete anti-submarine warfare cycle: detecting contacts with passive sonar, localizing threats through target motion analysis, and deciding when to engage. Every decision matters. Use active sonar and you'll find the enemy fast, but you'll also reveal your position.
Validated by Navy Officers
Developed under U.S. Navy SBIR contract in partnership with the Naval Postgraduate School and OptTek, Battleline has been battle-tested by seasoned officers. Their verdict? "Realistic and tactically sound" ASW tasks with "clear tutorials that actually teach."
The game runs on shipboard handheld gaming PCs, turning downtime into skill-building time. Sailors can practice critical procedures in hyper-realistic environments moments before performing them in real life.
