Development plan for 2026

Q1 2026
Major update B19 “New Horizon”

New content

◈ A new quest system, “Exploration of the Archipelago”. The first part is “Regions”. In each region of the Archipelago, the player can find a special object; by studying it, you can learn a piece of the world’s story and receive a reward.

◈ All imperial-class ships will receive unique skills:
- Deadfish – “Rage”: after taking damage, the ship’s defense is temporarily increased, as well as cannon damage and accuracy.
- Devourer – “Tamer of the Wind”: when activated, the ship’s speed is temporarily unaffected by the wind.
- Black Prince – “Truce”: when activated, current NPS (non‑player ship) aggression and combat status are reset. NPS do not attack while the ability is active.

◈ New passive traits will be added for all ship classes:
- Fast – increased falconet firing range.
- Combat – slightly increased cannon range.
- Heavy – reduced damage taken from mortars.
- Trade – increased damage from mines and barrels.
- Siege – increased falconet damage.
- Imperial – reduced ramming damage taken.

◈ Changes to the flag system – we plan to remove the “dangerous waters” area in the center of the map and adjust the bonuses and penalties of flags and black marks.

◈ New logbook interface.

2. Event “Spring Festival” – March.

3. Account transfer feature. Opening of the Asian server.

Q2 2026

◈ Continuation of the “Exploration of the Archipelago” quest system. The second part is “Collections”. The player will be able to find items of different categories and receive rewards for completing collections.

SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR

Major update B21 “Through the Storm”

Major update B22

◈ A new system of port battles and city ownership. Our goal is to make this activity accessible to a larger number of guilds. We plan to rework the defense and “stacking” systems, and may replace the current mechanics with new ones.

2. Event “Christmas and New Year” – December / January.
