In the sandbox MMO ArcheAge naval battles are coming soon. In the upcoming summer update in Korea, a new arena mode will be introduced where you can duel with ships and take down sea monsters and fortifications.
Ships have always played an important role in ArcheAge. After all, maritime trade is essential, and successful guilds have built prestigious ships like the Black Pearl early on.
Those who want more naval PvP action can look forward to the new naval battle arenas.
ArcheAge – Four Ships in Duel
In the new naval battle mode, four ships fight against each other. Each ship is manned by a team of five players. Additionally, there are four types of ships from which you can choose one. Each ship has its own values and advantages as well as disadvantages. For example, some ships are faster than others. Other types of ships are more heavily armored or ram particularly hard.
Alternatively, you can also set out with teams of just four players. This is practical if there are not enough players to form full 5-player teams. Each round lasts 12 minutes and you will not only fight against the other ships. You must also pay attention to the current and the wind. Furthermore, huge sea monsters roam the vastness of the oceans, which can attack your ships and sink them quickly. Therefore, naval battles are often a mix of PvP and PvE.
ArcheAge – Naval Battle Mode – Currently Only for Korea
So far, the new feature is only announced for the Korea version of ArcheAge. It will be released there on July 27, 2017. A release date for the naval battle arena in the West is not yet known. We have embedded a video of the naval battle spectacle for you here. Enjoy watching!
