[h3]⚓ THE KRAKEN HUNT MAJOR UPDATE INFO: [/h3][p][/p][p]Command the skies. Crush the ground. Conquer The Locker. That's one hell of a goal, isn't it?
[/p][p]Pirates, the Infinite Sea of Clouds is about to get a whole lot deadlier very soon. On November 25th, the Major Update - Kraken Hunt - will land, injecting new depth for the gameplay and terror with the DAVY side of the fight - the epic, roguelite sky battles aboard your colossal, sentient vessel, Abby!

While JONES was busy with visceral first-person combat on the cursed islands, DAVY - the cunning, sharp-tongued captain’s skull - must now master the ultimate gauntlet above the islands.

This update is a huge thing as we're finally giving you a full-pirate experience of the game, where you as a legendary captain will sharpen your wits, rally your crew, and lead your living ship into the fights up in the skies. [/p][p][/p][h3]DAVY — The Head, The Captain, The Sky[/h3][p][/p][p]The Locker is expanding, and with it, the stakes of the entire revenge. The Kraken Hunt update focuses on escalating the challenge that lies in front of you, and will reward you generously for commanding your living ship:[/p][p][/p][p]New Roguelite Hunts, Crew & Orders[/p]

• [p]The Hunt Begins: Prepare for new, evolving Sky Encounters as you chart your path towards the legendary Behemoth. You'll face new enemies, dangers, and make tactical choices that'll change your run in many ways - how you fight and what type of arsenal you have at your disposal.[/p]
• [p]Gather your Crew: Build your flying arsenal. Each member brings a unique power to Abby — from devastating attacks, new cannons, to lifesaving support. Recruit them across the islands, then level them up to strengthen your ship and survive the storm ahead.[/p]
• [p]ORDERS: Each member of the Crew can obtain a special run-defining perks which you'll upgrade during your hunts. Focus on raw cannon power, sheer defense, or tactical mobility - Your Orders are now more vital than ever to build a winning composition.[/p]

[p]And even more things awaits you on your journey...[/p][p][/p][h3]COLOSSAL THREAT: The Kraken

[/h3]

• [p]The Kraken is out there. This massive, legendary creature is not just a boss - it’s a dynamic fight that will push your strategic mind, your crew, and your ship’s defenses to the absolute limit.[/p]

• [p]Remember, that every victory in the skies will also EMPOWER YOUR DOMINION ON THE GROUND! Defeat the Kraken to unlock new permanent upgrades for Jones. [/p]

[p]This is the ultimate test of your captain skill, demanding that you master the skies before you can conquer hell itself. [/p][h3]

[h3][/h3][h3]🏴‍☠️ Ahoy there, Pirates! [/h3][p][/p][p]The path to becoming the Devil Himself has always led across the endless Sea of Clouds. The next Major Update, codename "KRAKEN HUNT," is not just an update - it’s the moment DAVY x JONES transforms into the grand pirate action-adventure across the islands and the skies with one very important aspect. [/p][p][/p][h3]⚓ From Islands to the Endless Sea of Clouds 🐋 Abby's True Role.[/h3][p][/p][p]Since the very beginning of the DAVY x JONES journey, our vision has always been to deliver an uncompromising pirate action-adventure. You’ve mastered the intense, headless, First-Person combat on the scattered islands, but the endless Sea of Clouds has always loomed - waiting for its true captain to be conquered.

When we revealed the game, the magnificent, sentient half-ship, half-whale ally, Abby, has been teased as a fundamental part of your revenge. She's is your safe harbor, your trusted ally, and your base of operations. And with this upcoming Major Update - She’s about to become something much more significant to the story, the world, and the core gameplay loop.[/p][p][/p][h3]That’s right: You will soon be able to steer and sail through The Locker on Abby's Deck! [/h3][p][/p][p]This is not a cosmetic feature. This ability to sail and navigate the swirling chaos of the pirate underworld is the new way for you to live this story like a true pirate action-adventure.

It introduces a vital, expansive Third-Person perspective into our game, making the Sea of Clouds a vast, non-linear realm of exploration and danger.
[/p][p][/p][p]This sneak peek shows just a sliver of the scale we are getting into. We are currently incorporating several new design elements that will expand upon this magnificent aspect of the game, making your time with Abby a core, dynamic experience.
[/p][hr][/hr][h3]
💥Wait, Naval battles? 🔱 Hunts? What it that exactly?
[/h3][p][/p]

• [p]Non-Linear aspect of the pirate adventure: Chart your course across the abyss to find new enemies, secrets, and challenges.[/p]
• [p]Action-packed NAVAL BATTLES: Yes, you heard that correctly. The introduction of sky sailing is the foundation for thrilling, large-scale Naval Battles, turning your sentient ally into a living warship capable of epic engagements against fleets and, most importantly...[/p]
• [p]Being a True Captain: Abby's new role isn't just mechanical - it’s important to the story. Her power, and your mastery of it, will become the vital part of your pirate journey. [/p]

[p][/p][p]Hunts - now a fresh, sprawling element of the whole experience - will arrive with this next patch and the first of them is THE KRAKEN HUNT. Prepare for a full breakdown soon, as we're preparing a showcase where we'll tell you more about it and how its going to be a new challenging element of your time in The Locker. [/p][p][/p][h3]This means that we need some additional time fully prepare for it, and the date we initially thought of for this update will be pushed forward from the late October to November - Additional time will be in your favor so that what's coming will be EPIC. ⏱️
