9 itemsAbout the Game
The mapmakers were wrong. Ships don’t vanish past the horizon — they drown in silence.
Tears of Tiamat is a single-player open-world action RPG set in a world of fractured continents, aging empires, and uncharted waters. Colonial fleets battle for control of trade routes and resources, but beyond their maps lies something older and far less interested in treaties or borders.
You are a free captain, untethered to crown or company, caught between human ambition and the secrets buried beneath the waves.
Sail a Dangerous, Changing Sea
Navigate shifting winds, unpredictable storms, treacherous currents, and waters patrolled by both warships and things no navy has ever named.
Explore a Broken World
Explore islands, ports, ruins, fortresses, coastlines, dense jungles, abandoned colonies, volcanic archipelagos, and forgotten shrines. All hiding history the great powers would rather erase.
Fight with Steel, Powder, and Precision
Engage in tactical melee and ranged combat with sabres, pistols, muskets, crossbows, and experimental weaponry. Battle pirates, soldiers, mercenaries, and the strange sea creatures that stalk shallow and deep water alike.
Choose Allegiance Or Defy Them All
Colonial powers, private traders, outlaw fleets, and secret societies. Each with agendas, alliances, and consequences. Your actions shift borders, bounties, and who hunts you on sight.
A Story Written in Salt and Silence
Unravel the truth behind the Rupture, a cataclysm that broke continents and erased history. The answers are not in libraries, but in shipwrecks, sealed caverns, and the eyes of the creatures that still remember it.
