'Man O' War: Corsair' Early Access Update Adds New Content - Trailer

Man O' War: Corsair is a naval combat game that explores the Warhammer world’s Great Western Ocean.

Man O’ War: Corsair is a video game of high adventure, naval combat and exploration based on the Games Workshop classic Man O’ War table top game. Play as a rogue Captain of the Empire or Champion of Chaos, personally navigating your vessel in third person across the Great Western Ocean while plundering enemy ships, visiting ports, trading and making legends of your deeds across the land and sea! Engage in boarding actions, with direct control over your Captain and take the fight to the enemy.

In Man O’ War: Corsair, players will explore a vast continent featuring over 50 unique ports. Featuring customisable characters, fleets of sailing vessels, cannons, spells and mystical creatures all clashing on an epic scale, but beware the very waters beneath your bows…

Here there be monsters....

Introducing the new update for Man O’ War: Corsair. Update 0.2 will introduce new mechanics as well as expand the open world experience of sailing the Great Western Ocean.

Khorne!
Introducing the first of our new fleets. Khorne sails into Warhammer’s Great Western Ocean, and the world will never be the same again. There are three new ships to face off against;
The Ironshark has a huge mechanical shark head mounted on its bow,
The Bloodship is a deadly war machine with giant pincers snapping open and shut,
The Deathgalley sails into battle alongside the other ships and is a deadly support vessel for Khorne.

Beastmen
Sailing in these vessels along with the more depraved sailors are the fearsome Beastmen, ready to face the unwary in battle.

Port Attacks.
Every port now has tower defences, containing gun batteries, some ports such as Erengrad and Marienburg have formidable defences that only the foolish or brave would dare attack. Due to a ship’s cannon spread, most of your cannon balls will likely miss the narrow target of the towers. So if you wish to become a destroyer of ports then perhaps a more specialised ship like a Hellhammer would be suitable, or any ship that fires one massive projectile.

If you successfully defeat a port you’ll need to dock with it, then you’ll have a choice to:

  • Loot (Grabbing what you can from the ports stores)
  • Raze (Destroying the port and gaining infamy and losing favour with that race)
  • Cannibalize (Breaking up the port to repair your ship)

We are pushing 32 new ports into this update, including one extra Kislevite Port, seven Orc Ports, ten Pirate/Smugglers Ports and thirteen Bretonnian Ports.

The Black Leviathan.
The biggest fish in the Old World is now in the Great Western Ocean. It is so large that it can swallow most ships whole. The best tactic when faced with the Black Leviathan is to keep it at range and drive it away with cannon fire.

’Man O’ War: Corsair’ has launched on Steam Early Access and GOG’s Games in Development platform.
