Watch on YouTube
Hello everyone!

The Corsairs Legacy team is back after 4 months of hard work with a huge update, and we're ready to share the top 12 main changes now available on Steam:

1. The story has been expanded and organically integrated with the open world.
   It now takes 15–20 hours to complete the currently available part of the story campaign.
2. New ship models and naval battle locations.
   The Brigantine and the Ship of the Line have been added — the game now features ships with anywhere from 8 to 52 cannons. Naval battles can now take place not only on the open sea but also in locations with islands.
3. Expanded variety of captain’s cabins.
   New large cabins have been added for bigger ships. All cabins now feature gameplay variations with barricades, providing more diverse boarding scenarios.
4. Officers added.
   You can now find officers in taverns and recruit them to your crew. This allows you to form your own squadron of up to four ships.
5. New documents and two types of chests with combination locks.
   There are now chests with two-digit and four-digit codes. To open these locks, you'll need to solve a logical or mathematical puzzle hidden in a document accompanying each chest.
6. You can now visit your captain's cabin.
   Store your loot in personal chests instead of carrying everything in your backpack. When you change ships, your chests are automatically transferred to the new ship.
7. Expanded voice acting.
   Quest dialogue voiceovers have been implemented, and two new NPC languages have been added — German and Chinese.
8. A variety of new sound effects.
   There are now more sound variations in the game — for example, footsteps differ depending on the surface and whether it is dry or wet.
9. Fallen sailors’ treasures.
   In a sailor’s loot, you may now find notes with information about the location of their hidden money and valuables.
10. 40 unique puzzles.
    More than 50 new documents have been added, all connected to the search for fallen captains’ treasures.
11. Improved land combat system.
    Animations, timings, and sound effects for land combat have been refined to provide better feedback for every action of the main character.
12. Optimized naval squadron battles.
    Soundtracks, effects, ballistics physics, and many other important aspects have been optimized to ensure comfortable and smooth gameplay during large-scale naval battles between multi-cannon ships.

Additionally, several bugs have been fixed, and numerous improvements have been made.

Thank you to everyone who follows our development, sends feedback and suggestions, and simply stays with us on board. There's still a lot of work ahead — set your sails, and see you in the world of Corsairs Legacy!
