Fabled Game Studio's highly anticipated sequel, Pirates Outlaws 2: Heritage, is set to launch in 2025 across Android, iOS, Steam, and Epic Games. Building upon the success of its 2019 predecessor, this roguelike deck-builder promises enhanced features and a thrilling new adventure.

What's New in Pirates Outlaws 2?

Pirates Outlaws 2 introduces a new protagonist with a backstory unfolding years after the original game's events. Players begin with pre-built decks and unique ability cards. But the enhancements don't stop there:

• Companions: These allies introduce their own unique card sets, adding strategic depth.
• Card Fusion: Combine three identical cards to create a more powerful version.
• Evolution Tree: Customize your deck's progression through an evolving skill tree, upgrading even previously discarded cards.
• Relic System Overhaul: Relics are no longer guaranteed after each battle. Instead, they're found in markets, after boss fights, or during special events.
• Countdown Battle System: A new countdown mechanic impacts enemy actions, replacing the "End Turn" button with a "Redraw" mechanic.
• Enhanced Armor and Shield System: A revamped system for defensive capabilities.
