For anyone who wants an Age of Sail game set in a shared world rather than a scripted scenario: World of Sea Battle is a free-to-play open-world MMO from Thera Interactive, in Early Access on Steam since 21 October 2025. The Steam page says it will stay free after the full release.
Everyone sails the same sea, the Archipelago, from warm southern islands to the icy north, with an uncharted Endless Sea past the map edge. Fights are about the wind and the timing of a broadside: round shot, bar shot, grapeshot or heated shot, and you can close and board. Between battles you can haul cargo (tobacco and wine from the south, iron from the north), make goods for the player exchange, fish, or take a merchant prize into port. Factions fight over cities, guilds contest ports, and with enough gold you can buy a private island for workshops and shipbuilding. Steam lists over 50 historical sailing ships from the 16th to 19th centuries, from a schooner up to a 100-gun first-rate.
