Ahoy there, sea dogs!

A giant albatross has delivered a message to every daring captain! On September 7 at 1:00 PM UTC, Curse of Pirates will leave Early Access on Steam with the massive Update 1.0. This major content update will uncover more secrets of the Cursed Seas.

Here's what awaits ye in Update 1.0:

- A new crew member — Zephy, an interdimensional parrot who commands the power of the wind. Summon devastating tornadoes and reduce yer enemies to splinters and bones.

- Five playable ships, each with its own unique playstyle and abilities. The farther you sail and the more bosses you defeat, the more vessels you'll unlock for your fleet.

- Five new enemy types, from schooners consumed by eldritch tentacles to warships carrying swarms of tiny explosive horrors straight from the Abyss.

- Three fearsome bosses. Whether it's Sythrix the Void Serpent, the all-seeing Gaze of the Abyss, or the infamous pirate Azrail (yes, Astrid's very own father), every one of them is eager to send you to a watery grave.

- New locations and maps. Venture into realms bordering the Abyss, where even the most seasoned captains will discover sights they've never imagined.

And of course, we heard your feedback. Meta progression is back! In Curse of Pirates 1.0, every voyage rewards you with permanent upgrades, letting you strengthen your ship and return to the Cursed Seas better prepared for whatever awaits beyond the horizon.

We're continuing to improve Curse of Pirates to make your adventures smoother, more enjoyable, and truly memorable. And we're grateful to have you sailing alongside us. Drop by our Discord tavern, share your craziest builds, and swap sea stories over a mug of the strongest rum!

Yo-ho, see ye on the high seas!
