In multiplayer, share duties on board, coordinate during missions, and tackle the challenges of life at sea as a crew.


Start your career as an aspiring captain and earn your reputation across different harbors and factions. Complete missions, unlock new opportunities, expand your fleet, and shape your own path on the water. Whether you are transporting a variety of cargo between ports - from bulk goods and containers to LNG - answering distress calls with the Tide Guard, scouting the sea with your drone, or simply enjoying the rolling waves, every voyage brings something new to discover.


A story-driven campaign follows Teddy, an experienced captain with a troubled past. As sabotage, piracy, and old secrets come to light, you become part of a maritime mystery about guilt, trust, and redemption.
