The new Frigate is the first-ever playable large ship and will grant players unmatched firepower. It comes equipped with up to 34 gun ports, 2 auxiliary stations, and a brand-new perk, "Grit," making it a formidable force on the high seas.
Captains from all Indian Ocean will have to join forces to take down the Megafort Wolvenhol, a near impregnable stronghold guarding precious Ascension materials. This fortified bastion is packed with layered defenses, unique encounter phases, and powerful minibosses.
- Launching mid-season, the Faction War feature will escalate the Franco-Dutch conflict to new heights. In this new gameplay experience, players take on the role of Privateers, where loyalty is as valuable as coin. By engaging in large-scale invasion events across the Indian Ocean, players will earn war assets and support their chosen faction. At the conclusion of each Battle Phase, players must choose whether to remain loyal or betray their faction—each decision shaping the course of the war.
