What happened to Harpoon 4?

[hillchurch]

Was the project canned? I played the original Harpoon soooo many years ago.

Anyone know of a naval sim in the scope of Harpoon?

Thank you.

Yes, the UbiSoft/Ultimation version of Harpoon4 is dead and buried.

But, the legal owners of Harpoon are planning the newest version with any release to be in the distant future.

The Harpoon Admiralty and supporting Senior Staff are exploring all options for creating "The Next Harpoon" (TNH). The constraints are of course, people, time and money. While there has been some interest from commercial publishers in the game, we will depend on an in-house development effort for the near term.

TNH will combine the best features of the entire Harpoon family, as well as adding new capabilities. TNH will be a faithful computer implementation of the print Harpoon 4 rules set.

The Harpoon community will continue to be a vital part of this effort at all levels. The community will be invited to bolster the efforts of the paid, professional team. Selected members of the community will be invited to work more closely with the development team based on their skills, knowledge, and attitude.

The existing products will be maintained (and expanded) during this extended development period and their legacy will be clearly evident in the TNH product. We will continue to offer discounts to our loyal players when purchasing new products.

In the immediate future you can look forward to the following Harpoon enhancements:

Harpoon Classic 2002 Gold - Western Pacific BattleSet and land units (now in Beta, and a free update).
Harpoon 3 Pro v1.1 - Umpire and Logging features.
Harpoon 3 MP - Public Beta right after Harpoon 3 Pro v1.1 is released, plus we are shooting for a Mac version!
Harpoon 3 - Commercial versions of the Pro features (free update when released).
Watch our web site, our affiliate’s sites, and our user-moderated lists for announcements of availability for these and future updates.

You should look at buying either Harpoon3 or Harpoon 2002 Gold.

They have both been rewritten to work great on Windows XP, and countless bugs have been fixed.
