- Age of Pirates — OUT NOW - 13 March 2026
Ahoy! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3549020/Caribbean_Legend_Age_of_Pirates A remaster of City of Abandoned Ships — one of the greatest open-world pirate RPGs ever made. Back in its day, this was a rough, uncompromising game. It didn't hold your hand, didn't forgive mistakes, and didn't open up easily. But the few who pushed through the rough edges of the original were rewarded with dozens of hours of unforgettable adventure. Now it's ready for a new audience. And it still has plenty to offer the old one: Modern controls Hundreds of improvements and refinements Dozens of side quests, a mountain of new content Letters of marque and Navy careers Colony capture Playable female character This is just the beginning Those who've been following our work know that over two years, Caribbean Legend grew from a simple remaster of Sea Dogs: To Each His Own into a full-blown remake. We proved t…

- NEW TRAILER - 14 June 2025
Ahoy!It’s been a year and a half since we re-launched the game. Look at what’s changed.ːjollyrː
- Patch 1.3 and Black Mark DLC - 11 September 2024
Ahoy! First, the important stuff: Patch 1.3 is available. We've never done anything like this before as a studio. Starting NG is not required. We recommend loading version 1.2.1 saves made while on land. Today marks the game's second 'release'—Steam will be actively promoting it for two weeks. To celebrate, we've set a historic low price—50% off. Now's the perfect moment to start playing if you’ve been holding off for any reason. Black Mark DLC is out now. What's New: Ships One of the goals of Patch 1.3 was not only to rework the remaining player-favorite early-game ships but also to lay the groundwork for the planned boarding scenes. The ships turned out great. New ships: The Valkyrie The Meifeng Fluyt War Schooner The Principio (DLC) Improved sail and rigging quality for all ships in the game. In total, ~30% of the entire game fleet has been revamped by 1.3 - just as planned. Quests E…
- Dev Diary IV - 24 August 2024
Ahoy! Aye, let's get straight to the point. Patch 1.3 will be released on September 11th. On the same day, the second DLC, Black Mark Pack, will also be available. Development Status If I still had any lingering doubts about the game’s prospects and development, the recent news has finally cleared them up. But let’s start from the beginning. You know our plan: Version 1.3 — uplift the early game and adapt it for new players. Version 1.5 — complete the Story Mode and refine the Sandbox Mode. Version 2.0 — a major quantity/quality leap, setting the benchmark for a game on the Storm Engine, paving the way for a full-fledged sequel. To make all of this a reality, the game needs commercial success. But how do you measure that success, and what does it even mean? Fortunately, Steam has specific metrics: you need to reach a certain gross sales figure within the first six months after release.…
- Patch 1.2 and Vile Little God DLC - 27 June 2024
Ahoy! Now that we grabbed your attention, on to the good news! ːbombingː The game is selling well, and we only have three positions left to fill on the team: a tester, a character artist, and a Storm Engine programmer. Patch 1.2 is available. This is the biggest one so far — bigger than 1.1 and 1.1.1 combined. We've launched a 33% discount in honor of the Steam Summer Sale, so seize the moment — we probably won't offer a bigger discount this year. The first DLC “Vile Little God” has been released. What's New: Story “Long Shadows of Old Sins” - Charlie Knippel's companion quest featuring a new unique ship. “The Last Knight” - Claude Duran's companion quest. “Three's a Crowd” - a special hidden event with its own Steam achievement. “Vile Little God” DLC - rebalanced and refined compared to the Early Access version. Ships We continue towards our goal of completely uplifting the entire flee…
- First DLC and Patch 1.2 - release date! - 16 June 2024
Ahoy! A quick update to let you know that production of Patch 1.2 is on schedule and will be released on June 27th. The final scope of changes and new content is yet to be determined, but this patch will definitely be as big as 1.1 and 1.1.1 combined. Here is a little sneak peek of the upcoming changes. Ships' hulls are real in-game quality. The sea, sails and rigging are rendered separately. You can find more in the recent Dev Diary. In addition, the first DLC will be released on the same date, featuring a new freeplay quest with the most powerful loot in the game so far. Make sure to wishlist it so you don't miss the big day! Good hunting and see y'all soon. ːrespect_soldierː

- Past, Present, and Future - 16 March 2024
Ahoy! It's been a month since the release - time to count the loot and make some tough calls. What's it gonna be - 5, 10, 15, or 25? Past Let's rewind the clock back a month. The game's release was marked by three rather unpleasant factors. A ton of content and features missing in the release version. Three new side quests were never delivered, namely "Unforgiven", "Pirates Don’t Need Heavens", and "Old Sea Dog’s Tales". I only discovered this a couple of days ago. Now, that's some quality project management. ːrofl_pirateː Those responsible for this monumental screw-up will leave our ranks very soon unless they rectify it promptly. The Exploration, aka No-Timers mode, was underdeveloped. The issue lies in underestimating the complexity of the task - all quest timers need to be manually deactivated in each quest to avoid conflicts. Delving into old code is a rather unrewarding task, but…
- Sea Dogs are back - 15 February 2024
