- One Week In: Thank You, Captains! - 15 May 2026
Captains, what a launch!Last week, we unfurled our sails on Steam and glided out on the virtual seas. From everyone on the Legends team: thank you. Seeing the fleet grow this fast, with so many new and returning Captains on deck, is exactly the welcome we had hoped for.
