The triumphant return of Silent Hunter

Today, Ubisoft announced what it hopes will be the triumphant return of the classic submarine simulation games series Silent Hunter. The fifth iteration of the game, aptly titled Silent Hunter 5 is being developed by Ubisoft Romania and will be released for the PC in early 2010.

Silent Hunter 5 lets players take command of a German U-boat, fighting off Allied Forces in famous battles across Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea during World War II. For the first time in the series, players can see the game from a first-person perspective, which, from what i’m guessing, is a pretty big deal.

Other key features according to Ubisoft include the ability to observe and interact with your crew, the ability to select your targets with a new objective-driven campaign system, enemy AI that allegedly adjusts dynamically to your approach, a new user interface, and the promise of a more cinematic experience all around.
