The game was announced last year, I am pretty sure they have always aimed for a 2015 release. From the press release issued today :

First gameplay trailer for Nantucket

Gold, glory and redemption lie on the tip of a harpoon.

Picaresque Studio announced today the release of the first pre-alpha gameplay trailer for their upcoming title Nantucket.

Set a few years after the story of Herman Melville's Moby Dick, Nantucket is a seafaring strategy game that thrusts players into the tortured life of Ishmael as he comes to grips with being the sole survivor of both the wreck of the Pequod and the wrath of Ahab. Players will have to explore the seven seas, manage their ship and crew, hunt whales and immerse in a living world, dealing with hundreds of unique events.

The game recently debuted on Steam Greenlight and it will be available on PC later in 2015.

About Picaresque Studio:

Picaresque Studio was founded in April 2013 by former employees of some of Europe's largest developers, including Mercurysteam, Geniaware and Ubisoft. The team has worked on Xbox 360, PS3, 3DS, and PC games such as the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow trilogy and Lords of Football. Picaresque Studio aims to be more than game developers - their goal is to tell stories in the most immersive, interactive way possible. Nantucket represents the first of these efforts.
