Will the rest of the books be added?

[Huntsman]

As we know, the game contains stories from only two (out of seven) books in the series. Dear developers, do you plan to add stories from all the books in the series to the game in the future? Thank you!

Heya!

I was trying to find the post Viktor had made earlier in relation to this topic. But yeah, their intent is to add all the books, including the ones that never really released. So planned to make the 12 books. But wasn't just going to be that, if successful and kept popular, wanted to continue to expand the game world beyond the original.

If I find that post, will make a new post sharing it.

I can't find a quote (it might have been on the discord rather than here), but I'm pretty certain the plan is:

• Early access starts with books 1 and 4
  
• Books 2 and 5 get added (at no extra cost) during Early access
  
• Then 3, 6 (and 7?) as DLC at some point after launch
  
• Maybe the areas that never got books get added afterwards, if the game is successful enough to fund that

I am SO hyped for the possibility of new books in this series. In any case, once the remaining existing books are added it's going to be so much fun!!!

Awesome, though I think 3 was my favorite for pirate shenanigans so it'll suck to wait for that til way later.

Will sailing have the battles in it that could potentially power level a character up?

No, it won't remain the same to avoid easy gain of ranks.

It'll be great if I get to see books 7 to 12 someday; I spent many months as a teenager trying to find these missing books, dreaming of the locations they might have, only to eventually find out they were never made.

You and me both, I was so incredibly disappointed to discover that I'd never see the underworld (book 12) as it seemed to be referenced in almost every other book!

Btw Book 7 is published and Book 8 is officially on the way! Let's see how far we get :)

[ManicMuncher]

where is the announcement for 8? any link?

[Victor]

No announcement yet, stay tuned :)

I watched the Dave Morris interview on YouTube recently and he only stated that Paul Gresty was writing Book 8 'as a labour of love'. I took that to mean it may not necessarily see the light of day in print, although of course I will be thrilled if it does.
