From the very start, we've wanted to give our wonderful fans and players a VR pirate experience like no other. With the completion of our story in the Crimson Bandit saga and all the new content we've added in the past several months, we are happy to share Furious Seas with the broader steam community. All of this couldn't have been made possible without our early adopters and all of those who gave our small indie studio a chance. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU. Without your feedback, suggestions, testing, critiques, and praise, Furious Seas would not be the game that it is today. Our community has been our driving force and our muse in development, and with their help, we have made the most kick-ass, swash-buckling, cannon-firing, VR pirate experience on the market. We hope we've made you proud.

With the release of Furious Seas comes a slew of zany pirate characters, as well as a beautiful open world and several new challenging levels. We've added new weapons and new shops, as well as polished our visuals to remarkable effect. For a detailed list of our accomplishments since our return to development, read on below.

For those of you who haven't had the chance to play Furious Seas in early access, we welcome you aboard to the full game experience!

In celebration of our milestone, we’re having a week-long Steam sale to give everyone a chance to purchase or gift a copy of Furious Seas at our lowest Steam price. Don't miss out - join in on the fun and become an important part of our community!

Here are the Major Features added since our return:

Double Shot
Chain Shot

• Audio Polish & Tuning on all levels
  
• Visual Polish on all ships and art assets
  
• Lighting Polish on all levels
  
• New Dialogue &Soundtracks

Future Immersive is excited to introduce you to the next chapter of the Crimson Bandit Saga. Defeating Captain Boom was no easy task, but with his bounty collected, there's only one man left between you and the infamous Captain Ruin. Head over to the Vanishing Isles to take down the sly and deadly assassin that lurks in the fog. Head over to our beta branch to take on the challenge!

Rumors about a haunted ship lurking around the vanishing isles have been buzzing around. The Chameleon has been hunting lost merchant vessels foolish enough to sail into the fog surrounding the isles. Some say he's the son of Davey Jones himself. Others think he's just a trickster with smoke and mirrors. He knows you're coming for him and likely has a trap set just for you. Nothing you can't handle though, right?

Play through a new 2 part mission on your quest to eliminate the Crimson Bandits.


The fog around the vanishing isles is thick and unforgiving. Luckily, even The Chameleon needs a way to sail through it.

• Find and follow the shipwreck markers that guide the way through the fog
  
• Use your map and compass to navigate through eerie waters
  
• Find the lighthouse that will guide you right to the chameleon
  
• Take out any enemy ships that dare cross your path

Have you fallen for The Chameleons Trap?

• Take out the welcome party
  
• Make your way to the heart of the fog where the Chameleons lays in wait
  
• Care to make a wager? Find The Chameleons ship amongst his ghostly imposters.
  
• Send him to Davey Jones Locker

These speedy ships pack an extra heavy punch! They'll move out to a distance to shoot you from afar, before charging at you at full speed. Careful not to get hit by their Battering Ram!


Chain shot cannonballs can now be purchased from the weapons shop or can be dropped by enemy ships. Chain shot is used to attack the sails of an enemy ship. Here's what it can do:

• Taking down sails can cancel the ram of an enemy Ramship.
  
• Taking down a few sails will slow an enemy down.
  
• Taking down many sails can stop an enemy dead in the water
  
• Chainshot to the hull of a vessel will do the same damage as regular cannonballs

The Mission Board, Weapons Shop, and Shipwright now each have their own stationed wards to greet you and provide details!


Underbelly is a tough as nails retired sailor. Hanging up his captain's hat, he now runs the mission board, commissioning bounties and objectives for bold sailors and pirates alike, in order to keep the surrounding isles safe.


Leland, if that is his real name, is a "former" black-market dealer. He sells arms and munitions at the weapons shop for a serious discount. Don't worry, he swears his products are legit.


Old Pegleg Pete, has been building ships for a very long time despite never having sailed on one. Formerly working for the Navy, He defected and began to work for hire after they cut his pension.

• Additional Volume Control options added to the menus
  
• Reset Save Game Data option added to the menus
  
• Pink Water / Water Reflection error -> Fixed
  
• Tails Avery not dropping barrel mines -> Fixed

• Captain Booms 1st level has a lighting issue
  
• Ships still attack you when you're stopped at a shop in the open world
  
• Lelands animations aren't playing

Captain Boom has been seen holding out in his fort after burning down half the surrounding villages.
Getting him to come out of hiding is no simple task. Boom's fort is heavily armed and protected by his vanguard. You'll need to get his attention to draw him out. Burning down some of that old geezer's gunpowder outposts ought to send a clear enough message.


Play through a new 2 part mission on your quest to eliminate the Crimson Bandits

• Sail through a beautiful new map on a overcast sea
  
• Find & Destroy all the Cannon Towers to draw Boom out of hiding
  
• Sink & Plunder all the enemy ships

• Blast your way through an even bigger map as you make your way towards Boom's fort
  
• Take out Captain Boom's Vanguard
  
• Destroy Boom's fort, but be careful, these Cannon Towers pack an extra punch
  
• Blast Captain Boom out of the sky and into his watery grave

• Enjoy enhanced lighting and atmosphere on previous levels

• Some audio dialogue is out of sync in the Captain Boom mission
  
• Captain Boom can get stuck on some island Geo
  
• Enemy Sea Mines are not deploying
  
• Sometimes player Sea Mines don't float when tossed into the water

We will be releasing a patch later this week to address these issues, Stay tuned!
