Developed alongside Joker Studio, this Age of Sail, gacha-esque game is steadily moving along in development, and things are really starting to heat up for eager players.

It has been a little while since we last checked in on what the team was cooking up, but progress has definitely not slowed down. Following the game's alpha test a few months ago, the developers have been steadily pushing through production to refine the core experience. If you were wondering whether development was still sailing smoothly, you can rest easy knowing the team has been hard at work behind the scenes.

Over the past several months, the studio has focused on drip-feeding teases for playable characters. For anyone who loves collecting distinct heroes and forming specialized squads, these roster previews have offered an intriguing look into the game's personality, art style, and crew dynamics. It is always exciting to see what kinds of allies you will be recruiting to your fleet once you finally take the helm.

Now, the anticipation is stepping up another notch. Recent updates indicate that the developers are teasing an upcoming closed beta test. If you missed out on the previous alpha phase, this next round of testing should be your prime opportunity to finally experience the multiplayer sailing and gacha-style systems firsthand before the wider release.

The excitement does not stop with beta teases, either. NetEase and Joker Studio are setting their sights on the big stage with reveals planned around Gamescom. Major gaming showcases are the ideal place for developers to drop major updates, and this upcoming event is set to deliver critical news, including official details regarding launch platforms.
