S.O.N.A.R. - Submarine Operators Not Actually Ready

S.O.N.A.R. Behind the scenes and submarine tour

Abylight Barcelona

Ever wondered how realistic submarine games actually are? Join Abylight’s Creative Director Miguel García Corchero and Marketing Lead David Martínez for an exclusive tour inside the Spanish Navy's legendary S-61 Dolphin submarine!

We walked through the cramped corridors, torpedo rooms, and command centers of a real life submarine to compare it side by side with our upcoming coop sim, S.O.N.A.R. Submarine Operators Not Actually Ready. Discover how true to life naval engineering directly inspires our core gameplay mechanics, from sonar operations to crew survival… or toilets.

What You'll See in This Video:

  • Real Submarine Mechanics: See how real naval systems translate directly into S.O.N.A.R. gameplay.
  • S-61 Dolphin Secrets: Explore the authentic living quarters, engine rooms, and combat systems of the Spanish Navy’s iconic vessel.
  • Behind the Scenes Insights: Miguel and David share how authentic submarine physics and layout design shape our experience.
