Uncharted Waters Online - Free-to-Play, Trailer

Announced at the PAX East 2013 yesterday, Uncharted Waters Online is a strategic MMO RPG set during the “Age of Exploration,” a historic era when opportunities to accumulate wealth and power were abundant.

Players will experience a simulation of sea-faring life in the 15th century, and can select from one of three starter classes: Adventurer, Merchant and Soldier. The world of Uncharted Waters Online allows players to explore, trade, battle and join in live events such as the “Epic Sea Feud.”

The strategic approaches to the game and the possibilities for adventure are endless, with the opportunity to play as one of six nationalities: England, The Dutch Republic, The French Régime, The Spanish Empire, The Kingdom of Portugal and The Republic of Venice. Each choice a player makes will change the course of the adventure and open doors to new opportunities.
