Fabled Game Studio is preparing the release of Pirates Outlaws 2: Heritage, a highly anticipated sequel to their 2019 hit, Pirates Outlaws. This enhanced roguelike deck-building game promises improved features while retaining the beloved gameplay of its predecessor. A full launch is slated for 2025 across Android, iOS, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
An open beta test is currently underway on Steam, running from October 25th to 31st. Mobile players will need to await a future announcement for their beta access. Before embarking on this nautical adventure, let's explore the exciting new additions.
What's New in Pirates Outlaws 2?
Pirates Outlaws 2 introduces a fresh protagonist with a backstory set years after the original game. Players begin with pre-constructed decks and unique ability cards, but the enhancements extend far beyond this.
The game introduces companions, each contributing their own specialized cards. A novel card fusion mechanic allows players to combine three identical cards into a more powerful version. An evolution tree enables deck upgrades, offering strategic choices for progression. Even previously discarded cards can now be upgraded.
The acquisition of relics has been revised. Instead of appearing after every battle, relics are now found in markets, following boss encounters, or during special events. Combat features a new countdown system impacting enemy actions, and the "End Turn" button is replaced by a "Redraw" mechanic. A refined armor and shield system further enhances the strategic depth.

Anticipation Builds for Pirates Outlaws 2
Despite the significant additions, the core gameplay of Pirates Outlaws remains intact. Players will still engage in deck-building, navigate treacherous seas, and conquer the Arena and Campaign modes. Classic features such as ammo management, combined melee-ranged-skill card strategies, curses, and diverse enemy factions are all retained. For further details, visit the official game website.
