We’re proud to present the Beyond the Waves update featuring captivating storylines, powerful weapons and new challenges that are sure to please even the most seasoned captains.
The update introduces an entirely new team-based PvP mode, Control Points, where players must work together to capture and defend strategically important locations scattered across the waters. For those seeking even greater challenges, the game now features five dangerous zones, each guarded by formidable bosses of varying difficulty levels. Additionally, exciting stories await you in a new quest line. Your team will also gain a new crew member.

In this episode, we invite you to face off against a world boss lurking beyond the sector's edge. This unique new enemy will test your combat skills and strategies, delivering an epic battle unlike anything you've seen before in Age of Water.
To help you deal with the enemies more effectively, you can unlock a sixth tier of weapons with devastating firepower, including rocket launchers!
