Do you remember Sail Forth? Three years ago, I wrote about this procedurally crafted sea adventure from David Evan Games and The Quantum Astrophysics Guild, and this week sees the Maelstrom expansion.

An open-world adventure, Sail Forth: Maelstrom sees skippers sailing into the heart of the storm, ‘bringing forth colossal vortexes that promise unparalleled challenges and untold treasures’. It also features expanded customisations and more:

  • Brave the Vortexes: Dive headfirst into the heart of the storm with the Sail Forth Maelstrom expansion! A tempest has swept across the Deepblue, bringing forth colossal vortexes that promise unparalleled challenges and untold treasures. Are you ready to face the Maelstrom?
  • Meet the Arcane Order: The Maelstrom is watched over by mysterious guardians who offer strange new rewards to sailors willing to risk charting the depths of the Underworld. In exchange for much-coveted Maelstrom Pearls, the Arcane Order is willing to offer everything from ancient weaponry to custom cosmetics.
  • Beware the Wormkin: The Maelstrom introduces a host of menacing adversaries that will test your sailing prowess and combat skills. The Underworld does not easily tolerate interlopers. Do not linger, or the Wormkin may claim your fleet.
  • Expanded Vessel Customization: Express yourself with the brand new ship cosmetic system, adding dozens of decorative items that can be fitted to the vessels in your fleet.
  • Sail Forth into the Unknown: Continue your nautical adventure with Maelstrom, where the call of the vortexes beckons you to uncharted waters. Will you return to the light, or be swallowed by the abyss?
