Recommended Videos

First and foremost, we get a release date for the patch, which will launch on Tuesday, Oct. 22, at 9:00 am PDT, Noon EDT, or 5:00 pm BST, depending on where you live.

The crown jewel of the update will be the Pirates scenario, which changes the gameplay pretty extensively, inspired by Sid Meier’s Pirates!.

All the content of the update will be free regardless of whether you have any of the DLC.

There will also be plenty of balance tweaks, that you can hear about in the video below if you can stand the cheesy pirate imitations.

If you’re interested in paid content, you can take a look at the announcement of the New Frontier Pass, which includes Gran Colombia, the Maya, Ethiopia, Byzantium, and Gaul.

Another video from a few weeks also showcases the the content that came in the previous update last month.

Three more DLC packages are coming in November, January 2021, and March 2021.

They will be available simultaneously on all platforms including PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
