Every voyage has a beginning, and for Puzzle Pirates’ newest server, the maiden voyage began this past week.
It’s called Dark Seas, and it’s a version of the game designed around PvP with both new and old realms to explore. Players will create a pirate and align themselves with a faction as they battle their foes and seek treasure. It’s out right now on Steam early access and should be sailing those waters for at least a half of a year. No wipe is planned, although the team isn’t ruling it out in dire circumstances.
“Puzzle Pirates: Dark Seas is a new take on a beloved MMO that’s been sailing the seas for over a decade,” the team said. “The goal for Dark Seas is to introduce an entirely new ocean, a volatile new place full of more danger and unexplored frontiers.”
Not only is this a new version of an old MMO, but Dark Seas is also the first big release for the relatively newly formed Grey Havens. Grey Havens is an indie studio that is now running the Puzzle Pirates franchise and is made up mostly of former Three Rings employees.
