Enemy Vessel Sighted!

As the end of the year draws ever near so too does the release of Holdfast's next free major expansion for the game. Holdfast: Age Of Sail will completely revolutionise 50 vs 50 player naval combat and bring fresh experiences to this much loved side of the game.

From an increase in player count to new naval engagement scenarios, gamemodes, factions, roleplay mechanics, ship boarding and so much more we've barely scratched the surface. Always expect the unexpected.
