Early Access Update #1



We appreciate all of your feedback on Corsairs Legacy. Our team analyzed it, and from the release day began to work on changes that players wanted to see. The first Early Access update for Corsairs Legacy was released today, and we will continue to expand the game regularly.

Below you can find the list of changes included in the update:

  1. you can capture and transfer to any ship in the game;

  2. the gameplay logic of the quests changed; markers have been removed in some places so that players can solve the quests on their own;

  3. the required amount of land movement reduced;

  4. all chests in Barbados now have loot;

  5. during ground battles, a marker has been added to enemies above their heads, informing about an attack on the main character (similar to Assassin's Creed: Unity) to increase the ability to parry a blow;

  6. the operation of the camera on the stairs in the prison fixed;

  7. fixed a critical bug of the absence of Spanish soldiers on the Tobago beach;

  8. fixed bug with invisible English soldiers in prison and lighthouse.
Note! The new version removes the progress. Progress saving will be added in the next update.

List of tasks that should be included in the next few updates:

  1. traders will appear in the game;

  2. the possibility of character development will be added;

  3. the city of Bridgetown will be added;

  4. additional side activities will appear;

  5. an opportunity to usefully spend all earned funds will be added.

We've decided to focus all efforts on expanding Corsairs Legacy and put plans for future releases on hold until the current game is refined with player feedback.

For us to be able to improve and expand Corsairs Legacy, it is important to have stable sales, and for this, we need to have a positive rating on Steam. If you agree with our direction of development, please leave a positive review on Steam so that the game can reach a higher user rating. We will be very grateful to you.

Corsairs Legacy is Now Available on Steam! Development Blog #26

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
The day we've all been waiting for has come. We are pleased to announce that the first game in the Corsairs Legacy series has officially been released on Steam in Early Access. Now every fan of pirate games can add it to their library.

We are still testing and polishing the game, but you can already play the first half of the story adventure. The release trailer we posted in December on the channel includes footage only from the part of the adventure that is already available to players. 

We want to say a few words about the difficulty levels:  
  • Sailor. Designed for those players who have never played a game with naval battles and do not know the difference between cannonballs and chain shots.
  • Corsair. Designed for those who already understand the game's mechanics, but want to go through the story quickly and without challenges.
  • Seawolf. A comfortable difficulty level for people who will be looking for better gear for the main character to replace the basic one and want some challenge in getting through the game.
  • Realistic. On other difficulty levels, we use modifiers in naval battles that offset some of the strengths of enemy ships. On a realistic level, we remove these modifiers. For example, the sloop in the first naval battle with the Spaniards will become much more dangerous.

Separately, we want to note that we have added special gameplay settings, allowing everyone to choose a comfortable play style. For example, the ability to hide the marker indicating where you need to go next. We have also added settings, allowing to change the speed of ships, the speed of reloading guns, and the amount of damage they do. By default, all the stats are set so that naval battles only last a few minutes, but by changing them you can get more tactical and realistic sailing action.

If you'd like to see more settings that will allow you to subtly alter gameplay, email us via the in-game feedback form.

Everyone who wrote to our Support via the form in the game or on the website should have already received an email with an activation code for a digital gift for their activity, which must be entered in-game. You can also join these active users who help us develop Corsairs Legacy. Everyone who joins and gives us feedback through the feedback form in the game or on the website will also receive a digital bonus from the development team.

We remind you that you can show your support for the developers by purchasing the Supporter Pack. As a thank you, we have added a digital Corsairs Legacy artbook, unique cold weapons, a unique set of clothes for the main character, and stylized desktop wallpapers to the Supporter Pack owners.



During the three years we've been working on the game together, our team has constantly moved forward, improving mechanics and graphics with your help. During this time, we have released 25 video diaries, trying to keep you up to date with the development and show you the real state of the project without any embellishments. Today is the day when every fan of pirate games will be able to see the result of our joint work. If you want to support the game, please leave a positive review on Steam after you play it. This way, more players will see the game and it will have a chance to pay off for us. All the money earned will go to the development of the game and the creation of the next bigger pirate adventure.

If you see a bug or have ideas on how to improve the gameplay, write to us directly in the game via the feedback form. We will take every feedback into account, and in the next updates, along with the continuation of Rufus' adventures, we will also improve your game experience.

Your progress will be saved after each update, which will allow you to continue the adventure in the future, after the release of the update with the continuation of the story of Rufus Monroe.

So now, let's get to playing Corsairs Legacy!

Corsairs Legacy Release Date Announced. Gameplay Video of the Perudo Game

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Hi all!

Today we are ready to share with you the release date of Corsairs Legacy in Early Access on Steam. It will take place on January 30, 2024.



Also today, we released a gameplay video showing the perudo minigame that will be available in Corsairs Legacy. Perudo is a game played by pirates and sailors in the 17th century in the Caribbean region, and it was also played in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Now, every player in Corsairs Legacy will be able to play dice at the local tavern. The video contains the Perudo video rules with full voice-over and subtitles that players will see when they first try playing Perudo, and the gameplay itself. In Corsairs Legacy, a text version of the game's rules will be available in an abbreviated version, which you can always refer to if you forget something.

Especially for the convenience of players on the official website of Corsairs Legacy, we launched a game community. There you will be able to familiarize yourself with all the items available in the game, their characteristics, and a list of the main quests. The community will allow players to communicate with each other and leave comments to us, the developers, for advice or help on the official resource. The community is now live on the Corsairs Legacy site starting today.

Last week we published gameplay videos of nature in Corsairs Legacy with release graphics: on the game's English YouTube channel, you could see the lighthouse; on the Ukrainian channel - the smugglers' settlement; on Save the Pirate channel - the plantation. All information is available at the link.

Below you can see new screenshots of the game.

The Lighthouse. Corsairs Legacy Gameplay Video Published

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Hi all!

We posted a gameplay video of nature in Corsairs Legacy on the game's official YouTube channel, in which you can see the release graphics of the Caribbean tropical islands. The islands are handcrafted and available with almost all locations without additional loading. The total size of Barbados is 1.5 km by 1 km, and at the time of the game’s release in Early Access, players will have access to 60% of the island area. Birds, 6 types of land animals, and 3 types of sea animals have already been added to all islands. All animals react to the main character and will run away from him when approached.

We performed optimization and achieved a result of 60 FPS with FullHD resolution on the declared GeForce GTX 1060 6GB without using DLSS and FSR, which are optionally available in the settings. After the Early Access release, we plan to continue to improve the graphical elements in Corsairs Legacy.

We published various nature videos: on the game's English YouTube channel, you could see the lighthouse, on the Ukrainian channel - smugglers' settlement, on Save the Pirate channel - the plantation.

Corsairs Legacy has already been approved for publication by Steam. But we still haven't received confirmation of compatibility with Steam Deck, which will take about two more weeks. Regardless of the Steam Deck compatibility test results, we plan to release Corsairs Legacy by the end of January 2024.

You can see some new screenshots below :)

Release Trailer, Corsairs Legacy Release Announcement and Some More News

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Hi all!

We want to share some news with you. We published a release trailer for Corsairs Legacy, which announced that the game will be released on Steam in January 2024. The specific release date will depend on how quickly the game will be approved by Steam. We plan to release Corsairs Legacy with full Steam Deck compatibility, which is being tested separately. We've already started the approval process and are awaiting the review results. The release date will also be affected by the results of polishing the game and fixing bugs in the current version.

You can watch the Corsairs Legacy release trailer below. It contains footage from actual gameplay and only the content that will be available in January.

The game will be released in Early Access, which can already be seen on the Corsairs Legacy page on Steam. We plan to release half of the storyline in January. Then, over the next 3-6 months, we will make updates: add new gameplay mechanics, and content, and fix bugs based on player feedback. The game will support all gamepads and will have an adapted tutorial in Early Access.

We have published an updated demo compatible with Steam Deck (need to enable the game through the gamepad manually) and other gamepads. Therefore, if you want to test Corsairs Legacy to improve the adaptation of the game to controllers - we will be grateful and waiting for your feedback.

Also, we will stream the game on the English-language YouTube channel this year. On the stream, the developer will play the current build and answer your questions from the chat. You can subscribe to the upcoming broadcast via the link (by turning on notifications) so you don't miss its beginning.
