Fabled Game Studio Is Making Pirates Outlaws 2, The Sequel To Their Hit Roguelike Deckbuilder

Fabled Game Studio's highly anticipated sequel, Pirates Outlaws 2: Heritage, is set to launch in 2025 across Android, iOS, Steam, and Epic Games. Building upon the success of its 2019 predecessor, this roguelike deck-builder promises enhanced features and a thrilling new adventure.

An open beta test is live on Steam from October 25th to 31st, offering players a sneak peek at the improvements. Mobile gamers will need to wait a bit longer for their chance to experience the updated gameplay.

What's New in Pirates Outlaws 2?

This sequel introduces a fresh hero with a backstory set years after the original game. Players begin with pre-built decks and unique ability cards, further enhanced by the addition of companions, each contributing their own specialized cards. A new fusion mechanic allows players to combine three identical cards to create more powerful ones.

Deck progression is streamlined with an evolution tree, offering strategic choices for upgrading cards. Even previously discarded cards now have upgrade potential. Relic acquisition has been revamped; instead of appearing after each battle, they are now found in markets, after boss fights, or during special events.

Combat introduces a countdown system influencing enemy actions, replacing the end-turn button with a redraw mechanic. A new armor and shield system adds another layer of strategic depth.
