Junklab Releases Gameplay Trailer For Red Skies At Dawn
The trailer settles what the game actually plays like day to day (weather planning, route learning, ship upgrades) rather than only teasing the storm, which is the part a sailing game has to get right before any release date is credible.

Developer Junklab has released a gameplay trailer for the first-person sailing adventure game Red Skies At Dawn. Players helm a small single-masted sailing ship, find hidden anchorages, learn routes between islands, and improve the vessel before heading beyond familiar waters. The trailer uses footage from a storm demo in production, showing thunder, winds that snap the mast, and massive waves. Junklab says the aim is to convey the sea's power. Release is planned for PC and Mac via Steam.
The trailer draws on a storm demo that is still in production, so the footage shown is not final build material. Junklab's stated aim with that sequence is to convey the overwhelming power of the sea while keeping the player watching the state of the ship as conditions change.
Around that, the structure is ordinary sailing: check the forecast, pick a mission, plan a route the ship can handle, and find landmarks and alternate routes that pay off on later trips. Upgrades add capability and character to the yacht. Scenario voyages test judgment and seamanship, and free sailing opens up afterward.
Red Skies At Dawn is planned for PC and Mac via Steam. No release date was given.
