The high seas are calling! The first official trailer for Crosswind, an ambitious Age of Piracy-themed survival MMO, has just been released — and it’s already making waves. Developed by indie studio Crosswind Crew, this upcoming free-to-play title blends classic survival gameplay, rich world-building, and massive multiplayer elements into a thrilling pirate adventure.
🏴☠️ Welcome to the Age of Survival and Sail
Set in a gritty and mysterious alternate version of the Age of Piracy, Crosswind places players in the boots of a freelance ship captain who’s been betrayed and stranded after a mission gone wrong. But survival is just the beginning — players will navigate a dangerous world torn between empires, pirate clans, and shadowy supernatural forces, all while building their reputation, fleet, and fortune.
