[/h3][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h3][/h3][p][/p][p]🚨 THE GREAT WIPE (Read This!) To make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs. To make the ultimate Pirate Hell, we had to break... well, the timeline.

We know, we know - losing progress stings. But here is the truth: It is totally worth it. We have packed the early game with new details, smoother progression, and hidden surprises in the "corners of the locker" that you would have missed on an old save. The new combat system changes the feel of the game so drastically that a fresh start is the best way to learn the ropes and master the flow.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p] The Locker has changed. Update your game, check your ammo, and set a course for the Kraken.

We're incredibly excited for what's to come and can't wait to share it with all of you.
