'Man O' War: Corsair' Early Access Update Adds Free DLCs, New Features

by Rainier on Nov. 24, 2016 @ 11:25 a.m. PST

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....

'Man O’ War: Corsair’ has been in Early Access since April this year, and the team have been working closely with their growing and passionate community since then. Developed specifically with fan requests in mind, the two DLC packs are a thank you from the development team to all the early adopters and supporters of the project so far. These pack will be free to ALL early adopters.

A huge amount of customisation feedback lead to the creation of 'Reik's Fashion DLC’, which allows players to dress in the height of Reik's fashion! The pack includes a swish and not-too-rotten Shark Hat, the Helm of the Skaven Slayer, and much more.

The second pack features the majestic 'Fledgling Griffon' which acts as a morale booster for your crew. They're a superstitious lot but this beautiful creature is regarded as a sign of good luck and will help your crews along their adventures.
