Cloud Pirates, the steampunk airship tactics shooter from My.com, will be released as a free-to-play game this April. Finally, all airship fans can dive into wild aerial battles.
Cloud Pirates is currently in beta and can only be played through founder packs. However, the air combat MMO with flying pirate ships will officially release as a free-to-play game soon.
In addition to the free-to-play feature, there are more new features coming, as patch 1.3 “Stronghold” will also arrive, bringing new team options and fortresses.
Cloud Pirates – Free-to-Play Launch and Update 1.3 Stronghold
The launch of Cloud Pirates and patch 1.3 will take place on April 19, 2017. From then on, Cloud Pirates will be playable for all registered players for free. Update 1.3 will bring even more cool features:
- 3-player teams: After teams of three players have been disabled for a long time, they are finally returning with the launch of Cloud Pirates!
- League System: Your rank as a player will now be classified into one of six leagues, from the novice league to the elite league. This will also affect matchmaking.
- Brotherhood Fortresses: For the resources you collect in convoy missions, you can build a fortress if you are a member of a brotherhood. This will cost a hefty 75,000 resource chunks and can be further expanded afterwards.
- Fortress Sieges: You can attack or defend fortresses in a special new game mode (if they are yours). This is only available at certain times on specific days and rewards players with special loot. Players who are not in a brotherhood can also play this mode on a special stronghold map.
- Combat Adjustments: From rank 2, you can still adjust your airships after the battle starts. However, this will cost a lot of gold and can only be done while waiting for the game to start or respawn. For this purpose, you can set up to three loadouts before the fight.
