Insider Patch Notes 2.8.0.5
Insider Update 2.8.0.5 is now live. We now begin to restrict the build to only features and fixes releasing in the next month as part of our upcoming release. Players still have the option to engage in a variety of past seasons features and new pirate emporium content. Take to the seas and let us know how you get on in the forums.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the
