Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Age of Magellan: Sail the Entire Planet is an ambitious historical sailing and exploration game focused on long-distance navigation, global exploration, and Age of Discovery-era seafaring. Early Access allows us to continue expanding and refining core systems with community feedback while the game is actively playable. We want players to help shape exploration mechanics, navigation systems, balancing, world simulation, and long-term progression as development continues.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 1–2 years. Development time may change depending on community feedback and the scope of planned features.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for the full version to expand significantly on the existing foundation. Planned additions include more history based missions (eg, fighting the barbary coast corsairs), richer combat (eg, fighting multiple ships), deeper trading and survival systems, expanded ship management, additional exploration content, improved AI and encounters, more historical content, quality-of-life improvements, and overall polish.

We plan to include a new and original musical soundtrack to the game and we also plan to continue improving the user interface, onboarding/tutorial systems, visual presentation, audio, and balancing throughout development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is already playable and includes core sailing and exploration gameplay. Players can navigate a large-scale world inspired by the historical Age of Discovery, sail across oceans, use celestial navigation mechanics, visit ports, manage their ship, and explore the world freely.

Many systems are still under active development, and players should expect bugs, unfinished content, balancing issues, placeholder elements, and ongoing changes during Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We may gradually raise the price as major features and content are added during development. Players who join during Early Access will be supporting the continued development of the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will play an important role during development. We plan to listen closely to player suggestions, bug reports, balancing feedback, and historical discussions in order to improve the game over time.

Development updates, patches, and new features will be shaped in part by community feedback gathered through Steam discussions and player testing during Early Access.”

About This Game

Age of Magellan is an open-world historical sailing simulator set on a near-scale model of planet Earth, rendered from real geographic data with over 11,000 real port cities. Sail the entire planet and relive the feats of the great discoverers — round the Cape with Bartolomeu Dias, reach the Indies with da Gama, cross the Atlantic with Columbus, or complete the first circumnavigation yourself.

Navigate Like It's 1500
Your GPS is a sextant. Find the horizon, sight the sun or Polaris, align the mirrors, and take a reading to fix your latitude. Trust your charts, the stars, and your instincts — or sail into a storm that strips the knowledge of your own position away from you.

From Merchant Courier to Royal Explorer
You start small. Your first commissions come from a merchant cooperative — run grain from Lisbon to Cascais, carry festival goods between nearby ports, stay out of trouble. Build reputation with any of seven crowns — Portugal, Spain, England, France, the Netherlands, Venice, or Genoa — across ten ranks, from Landlubber up to the legendary Ferdinand Magellan himself, and bigger doors open. A trading company hands you a longer route. A naval officer trusts you with a patrol. A royal minister marks your name. And eventually, a sealed letter arrives from the King himself: chart the unmapped coast of Africa, round the Cape of Good Hope, find a new sea route to India, reach Japan, circumnavigate the world.

Storms, Wind, and the Sea
Read the wind, trim your sails, and feel the difference between calm, moderate, and strong. Seasonal storm regions will tear your sails, break your hull, and destroy your fishing nets if you don't furl in time.

Real-Time Naval Combat
Engage pirates, privateers, and hostile navies in real-time duels that turn on wind, angle, and timing. Bring your port or starboard broadside to bear, wait out the reload, and hammer your opponent's hull or rake their sails as they maneuver to do the same to you. Close to boarding range and take the ship for yourself. Five ship classes — Sloop, Caravel, Xebec, Carrack, and Galleon — trade hull, sail, crew, and cannon count for very different captains.

Chart Your Own Course
Set your own bearing, pick your own port, plan your own voyage. Sail into the Pacific with no commission, no backing, and no one expecting you back. The planet is open. The fog peels back wherever you point the bow.
