We deeply appreciate everyone who helped us during the testing phase. If you earned the Rank 5 achievement during the playtest — you'll be able to recruit a unique officer, Tichingitu.

• Instructions: after meeting Alskold and completing the mummy powder delivery quest, a special dialogue line will appear that triggers a mini-quest for him to join your crew. Don't miss it — or the native warrior is gone for good!

Great news for rare gear collectors! Thanks to our collaboration with BlackMark Studio, players can earn a unique reward for Caribbean Legend — the "Chief's Musket".

• Condition: to obtain the musket, purchase Age of Pirates by ReCon Team. Don't miss the chance to add it to your arsenal!

The Steam Workshop is officially open! You can already share your creations and modifications.

• Note: script access will be unlocked a little later — roughly a month from now — to give us time to ensure the stability of the base game.

We've done a lot of work on the engine and overall game experience:

• New launcher: you can now directly select your monitor and GPU before launching the game.

• AMD stability: frequent crashes on AMD 6xxx–9xxx GPUs have been fixed, which also improved stability for NVIDIA cards.

• Playtest bugs: the majority of critical issues and inaccuracies identified during testing have been fixed.

As promised — available from day one. The first batch of 40+ achievements is already waiting to be unlocked in-game! Some of them are hidden...

• Heads up: achievement hunters, stay sharp — the list will keep growing with upcoming updates.

Ahoy, this is the lead developer — Konstrush. There's something I want to say personally. Let's go.

Looking at the final result, it's hard to believe how far this project has come. Caribbean Legend: Age of Pirates started as a desire to fix a few rough spots in the original — technical and visual. But it grew into an official remaster that pays tribute to that very spirit of pirate romance. The one that made us fall in love, on first launch, with the sound of waves and the creak of the deck.

The project was born on pure enthusiasm — fueled by arguments about what the perfect corsair game should look like. There were moments of despair, heated clashes, technical dead ends, and sleepless nights. But your support and belief in the team kept us going. This release is the result of thousands of hours of work and a deep love for the original.

P.S. Thank you to everyone who supported us with encouragement, hard work, and advice! And a special thank you to BMS — for believing in us and for their invaluable help in developing and releasing Age of Pirates. None of this would exist without you.

We're looking forward to your bug reports and feedback. Remember, your help right now directly impacts the quality of the release!
