Raise the masts and set sail into a reborn naval warfront like never before, where your command of a crew can be stronger than the cannons themselves. Witness thunderous broadside exchanges to striking close-quarters boarding of enemy vessels.Â
Brave the high waters, assault fortified ports, and carve your path through rocky coves alongside your fellow sailors.
Command 7 different vessel types, each built for a distinct purpose. From nimble Rocketboats to the proud 50-Gun Frigate, every ship has its strengths, weaknesses and tactical purpose!
The right ship and crew can decide the fate of an entire battle.
Every man on deck has a role to play. Choose from a variety of classes, all bringing unique weaponry, tools and abilities to the ship’s crew.
Whether you’re a captain sailing the ship, a gunner delivering crushing broadside blows, a carpenter keeping the ship afloat, or a marine leading boarding parties, teamwork is the key to victory on the high seas. A well-coordinated crew is stronger than any single cannon!
Choose your allegiance to the British, Spanish, French or Privateer navies and set sail in a multiplayer first and third-person experience set in the golden era of naval warfare. Stand and fight for your nation’s flag, lead brave crews and wage war in the golden age of sail.
Battle across a wide range of carefully crafted naval environments, from open ocean engagements and narrow straits to fortified harbours and coastal strongholds. Each map is designed to encourage different fighting styles, ship compositions, and tactical approaches, ensuring that no two battles ever feel the same.Â
Ram enemy ships to cripple them! When cannons fall silent, the vicious melee and musket combat begins.
Board enemy vessels and clash blade-to-blade on the crowded decks of relentless crews. Seize control with enough crew members aboard enemy vessels, and fight desperately to keep your own vessel afloat. Manage resources, repair damage mid-battle, and use the wind to your advantage to outmanoeuvre your enemies. Victory isn’t just about firepower, it’s about control.
The seas are alive with more than just battle. Sing shanties with your crew, communicate through proximity voice chat, express yourself with gestures, and customise your sailor to fit your persona in the barracks.
Form regiments and crews (game clans), build your identity, and become part of a living, breathing naval world shaped by its players.
The great Holdfast community welcomes you. ❤️
