Modern Naval Warfare is Out Now in Early Access
Posted: Tue May 26, 2026 10:20 am
The wait is over. Modern Naval Warfare has officially launched into Early Access today.
Your command of the world's most advanced nuclear attack submarine begins now. Because this is a sophisticated, high-fidelity simulation, we want to ensure you have the ultimate tactical advantage to navigate (ah!) the complexities of the deep. Below, you will find a structured, comprehensive set of official resources—ranging from video tutorials to live-updating manuals—designed to take you from a fresh recruit to a master of the sonar waterfall.
Before diving into the complexities of this unparalleled simulation, check out our article here.
1. Tactical Training Videos
For those who prefer visual briefings, we have partnered with FPSChazly to produce a series of in-depth training tutorials. You can access these directly from the in-game menu or via the official playlist:

2. The Digital Library (Live Updates)
Our documentation system is live-updated. When you open a manual from within the game, the system automatically checks our public server and caches the latest version locally. This ensures you always have the most up-to-date tactical data without waiting for a Steam patch.
You can browse the full public repository at any time here: docs.waveops.io/mnw/
Available Now:
- MNW Control Guide: A vital breakdown of the overlay UI, buttons, and primary command inputs (recently updated based on community feedback).
- Virginia Class Quick Reference Handbook (QRH): Your "go-to" for step-by-step procedures, weapon launch parameters, symbol explainers, and performance envelopes.
- Dusk till Dawn Campaign Charts: Essential mission intelligence, including satellite imagery, bathymetry, and bottom composition for sonar modeling.
- Virginia Class Blueprints: Technical schematics detailing the structural differences between the various Blocks of the submarine.
- Weapons Blueprints: Vital performance specifications and employment limitations for your torpedo and missile complements.
- Recognition Handbook: A massive resource featuring diagrams, specs, and acoustic data to assist with LOFAR and DEMON sound analysis and radar classification.
Coming soon:
- The MNW General Guide: A foundational deep dive into the history of submarine warfare and the physics of the underwater environment.
- Virginia Operations Handbook: A detailed station-by-station guide. The initial release focuses on the Block III (featured in the campaign), with expanded coverage for all Blocks and advanced tactics coming throughout Early Access.
Our advice, if you can, is to always keep the QRH open on a second monitor or tablet. It’s designed to be your best friend during high-stress encounters when you need to verify launch parameters in a hurry.
Good hunting to all of you.
