Smoky Sails Trailer Shows Off Naval Combat and Exploration from the Creator of Omno

The creator of Omno has revealed a new trailer for Smoky Sails, showcasing naval combat, exploration, and ship customization as part of the Games Composed in Germany 2026 showcase.

The solo developer behind the atmospheric platformer Omno is back with a completely different kind of journey. A new trailer for Smoky Sails debuted as part of the Games Composed in Germany 2026 showcase, giving players a fresh look at what to expect from the upcoming adventure title. While Omno focused on serene, solo exploration, this new project trades quiet wandering for open waters, tactical naval battles, and grander horizons.

The newly released footage highlights the core gameplay loop, blending ship-to-ship combat with seafaring discovery. Players can expect to customize their vessels, navigate unpredictable weather systems, and chart unknown territories. It is a noticeable shift in scale and tone from previous work, but the developer's distinct visual style and knack for creating immersive environments clearly remain intact.

For a community that values indie projects willing to experiment across different genres, Smoky Sails is shaping up as an adventure worth tracking. As the game moves closer to release, it will be interesting to see how the developer translates that signature atmospheric storytelling into a more dynamic, combat-heavy setting. You can watch the full trailer over at IGN South Africa to see the naval action in motion.
