For fans of the show Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel, the folks at Ultimate Games have a new game for you to live out those experiences. The company announced this week that Deadliest Catch: The Game has officially left Steam's Early Access program and has now been released. Now you too can play a simulation game of being of a king crab fisherman based on the popular series. You'll set sail from the Dutch Harbor and make your way through the treacherous region in order to get some of the best crabs you've ever seen in the world. Risking your boat, your crew, your livelihoods, and your own life in the process.

This is about as close to being a part of the TV series as you're going to get, all done in a first-person view as you attempt to bring in the best catches you can while dealing with the ship and all of the elements around you. You can read more about the game below as well as read a quote from the company about the development of the game. Along with the trailer so you know what to expect.

Now you can try your hand at being in the Deadliest Catch.

For a few days every year, experienced crab catchers and greenhorns brave the elements side by side, putting their health and life on the line. The goal is to earn a fortune and become known as the best crab catcher. Now you can become one of them! Deadliest Catch: The Game is a realistic 3D simulator created in cooperation with the Discovery Channel and Discovery Game Studios. It allows the players to catch king crabs in the Bering Sea and manage a special fishing boat (the so-called "crabber"). The creators have paid particular attention to details, and the gameplay itself combines realism and approachability.

"While in Early Access, Deadliest Catch: The Game was well received by the players. As of today, the percentage of positive reviews has reached almost 70%. In recent months, the game has been improved upon and expanded with new features, in accordance with the previous plan and player feedback. Thanks to this, the game recreates the conditions known from the popular Discovery channel even more faithfully" – explains Mateusz Zawadzki, CEO at Ultimate Games S.A.
