Ahoy Pathfinders!
As we sail deeper into 2022, we are continuing our initiative of higher transparency with our amazing community. Today, as part of these efforts, we are providing a short video detailing our roadmap for the coming year. In the video, we lay out our plans for new content, new player experiences, and pending move out of early access!
First, let’s take a quick look back and some of the progress made in 2021 and how these changes impacted the game
Ship Building
We introduced the modular ship system and several role-specific ships for players to customize their fleet
PvP
We’ve added the Wonders system to create new endgame content and fun interactions for the player base
Travel
Tradewinds and portals were brought in to make the difficult voyages on the sea a little easier
PVE
We’ve included new structures and tames to provide more content outside of battle
Seahorses and dolphins are now tameable
New buildings (such as the quarry and advanced shipyards) to help pathfinders complete the fleet of their dreams
Map
We reworked the map to create more themed regions for players to explore
Rookie Cove
Central Waters
Various real world inspired locations
Such as the Mediterranean, Arctic, and South American regions
In the video, we also acknowledge areas of improvement and preview what’s to come
Ships
Creating a building experience similar to the legacy ships
Increasing the diversity and ability of ships
Upcoming “ship in a bottle” system
PVP balancing
Structures for building harbor defenses
Structures that prevent others from building in your territory
Tame adjustments

Tame houses geared towards completing tame bloodlines
More water tames
New interactions and mechanics

Increased our communication with the community via our official Discord
Expanding the world with new additional islands, regions, and adversaries
… and so much more! This isn’t a complete or final list, but only a preview of the direction we are taking!
Please take some time to check out the video and let us know what you think. Until next time, as always, happy sailing!
