Take a look at the Seaworks: Trap Season announcement trailer for this upcoming crab fishing life simulation set among the cold waters and isolated islands of the Pacific Northwest during the 1990s. Seaworks: Trap Season will be available on PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X/S, and Steam in 2026.
Starting with little more than a small boat and a fax machine to print orders, you must learn how to make the most of every trip at sea. Whether on a calm day, or for an urgent order whilst battling waves, you head out to the sea, place crab traps beneath the water and return later to haul them aboard, hoping to have secured enough catch to earn a day’s wages. Each catch must be sorted by hand, discarding sick crabs, trash and other unplanned loot, before the crabs can be sold fresh or processed for better returns.
