"A new era has dawned for interactive crab fishing as Crave Games has taken over the Deadliest Catch videogame franchise with the upcoming Deadliest Catch: Sea of Chaos. Now, with Crave in the Captain's Chair, we're seeing a fresh start for the series. The basic concept is the same as the first game (get your boat, hire your crew, set your pots, sell your crab); however, the hardcore tactical approach has been traded in for a kinder, more casual vibe."
BRECKENRIDGE, COLORADO – Discovery Channel continues to captivate TV audiences with its one-two punch of Alaskan crab fisherman. Every Tuesday night, viewers tune in at 9pm ET to watch “Deadliest Catch” followed at 10pm ET by “After the Catch.”
While fans of the show won’t ever get the chance to become a greenhorn on the deck of one of the world’s deadliest jobs, they have been able to relive the experience virtually. There have been two console games – Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm and Deadliest Catch: Sea of Chaos – and a free-to-play online game on the official Web site.

After seeing record ratings last year with the dramatic farewell episodes focusing on Captain Phil Harris’ fight for his life, the seventh season of Discovery Channel’s hit reality series, “Deadliest Catch,” is back on top. The Alaskan crab fishing show returned to a solid 4.3 million viewers and a 2.0 (18-49) rating on Tuesday night, which made it the top draw on cable. In addition, the two-hour premiere episode, titled “New Blood,” averaged a 2.6 (25-54) rating, second on all television only to the two “NCIS” franchises. And for the first time in the series, there’s a cross-platform video game, Deadliest Catch: Sea of Chaos, on store shelves from Crave Games. Captain Keith Colburn talks about the new game in this exclusive interview aboard his ship, The Wizard.
