Overview

  • Act 1 brings the Smugglers’ League faction with secret hideouts, high-risk route runs and valuable shipwreck salvage missions
  • A new Season UI tab outlines the three-act roadmap, leading into an art-heist competition in September and reaper-fort transformations in October
  • Players can opt out of cross-region hourglass battles, remap secondary controller functions and connect via new servers in France, South Africa and India
  • Pirate Profiles enable multiple characters without resetting progress, the Renown cap rises by 100 levels and Devil’s Roar volcanoes now erupt on a more predictable schedule
  • Creative director Drew Stevens has announced ongoing investigations into water desync, long load times and repeated griefing to improve stability and moderation
