Hi everyone,
I want to spend this update letting you all know what to expect with the new map being introduced in Chapter 2.5. The new pirate themed map is going to be the biggest map in the game so far and feature a less linear storyline than you’ve experienced in the other Chapter 2 maps. I really wanted to open the world to exploration and decision-making a bit more this time around – which is also partially why this update has taken so long.
The map centers around a neutral city where you can interact with all of the new factions and antagonists, choosing who you eventually ally with or merely giving you a way to get more information on your enemies so you can more efficiently crush them. There will also be a plethora of other interactions and events, hopefully making the city a focal point that won’t get boring before you take over the map.
Being a collection of islands, ships are vital to traversing the open waters of the pirate map. You wont be safe on the high seas either and will need to outfit your ship in preparation for sea traversal and combat. Your main ship will be as important as any of your crew members.
That’s all for now. We’re really close to the beta release of 2.5 and I hope you’re all as excited for this large update as I am to finally get it to you.
