Last Pirates: Die Together · published
Six weeks ago we opened the gates to Early Access. A lot has happened since then, and it feels like the right moment to look back at it together.
13 patches
236 changes
1 major update
1 line that changed everything (more on that below)
Early Access went live on August 18, and the first weeks were all about getting the basics right.
The Ship and the Castle opened up to everyone during our event
The Golden Sword and the Golden Hand Cannon showed up in the store
Voice chat got three modes
The Titanic appeared on the Ship levels, ready to be smashed and hauled out piece by piece
Progress now saves every day, not just at each chapter
Solo and team play got their own balance, from the quota and store prices to how many enemies show up
Sharks swim straight through the cart now, which feels right for a ghost
On September 10 the major update landed, and on the same day Last Pirates became Steam Deck Verified.
The statues woke up. A new hunter now waits in your levels, and it comes in two shapes
The spider that clamped onto your head was rebuilt from scratch into a jellyfish, for everyone who asked for an arachnophobia option
The boomerang, the cover for fragile loot and the teleport crystal joined your kit
No more of the same location three levels in a row. The Mansion, the Ship and the Castle now take turns, and each one brings its own set of enemies
Twenty Steam achievements to hunt down
A new main menu and a fresh look for the parrot
You ranked every monster in the game in our tier list, and the Mimic won by a mile
Every Tuesday, a few of you get to play a round with the devs themselves. Keep an eye on the announcements to grab a seat
The whole server teamed up to crack a mystery, and every lock gave away a clue about what was coming
On September 3, a patch with a single line in it: the game loads faster. We stand by its title
The store was rebuilt around the new progression, and the quota climbs steadily all the way through
The lobby got a new look, with previews for every section
70 new places to find loot across 15 levels
Elevator call levers on all levels
Gold you earn now makes it to the shop in full
Mimics keep their cauldrons on, and revives stay in sync between players
Chapter pages snap into place and can be browsed with the mouse
The Halloween update is on its way with plenty of fun, spooky content, so keep an eye on our news. In the meantime, we'd love to hear what you want to see in 1.0. Tell us in our Discord!
If someone you know has been watching from the shore, now's the time to pull them in. The discount runs for a week.
A huge thank you to everyone who played, reported bugs and stuck with us through these six weeks.
Grab a friend while the price is low, and see you on the islands.
