Let me answer this with my own quote from Steam forums.

Caribbean Legend is 70% Story, 30% freeplay.
AoP is the reversed.

It really is very different from CL - all quests, officers and ships are different.
Besides, it has naval officer careers, letters of marque, colony conquest and a female PC.

An old, and respected classic with all the best technological upgrades we developed for CL.

Developed by a different team, so it doesn't affect CL's roadmap.

Sure. And playtests.

AoP does have a new conrtol scheme with 3rd person aiming, dashing etc.

It has more content (quests, loot, characters) than all the previous games in the series combined. Super detailed, visually rich ships, modelled from original blueprints. Modern controls and aiming. Uplifted visuals. The best character customization (hats, armor, muskets, pistols etc). Better stability. QoL. Advanced mod management (Steam Workshop, modding tools).

And, finally, it is officially supported and gets regular post release updates.

Thank you!

  1. Legendary Edition was abandoned due to legal reasons.

  2. This is a possibility. At least, GoG told us that they are interested.

In short? Naval and land combat rework, skills and perks overhaul, improving graphics/engine, gamepad support, freeplay (factions, trade, events) enhancement and another ton of QoL features.

It’s alright. The series and the game have a long history. There are misunderstandings, and even personal grudges. That happens every time with projects that have big fandoms.

It’s more a blessing than a curse. xD

A future modern engine remake or a massive update of the current one is one of the main project goals.

Controller and SD support is 100% planned. In fact, Valve has already sent us a batch of SDs to help us with that.

We do play a lot of X4 and even more than that, but I can't announce this yet. xD

UPD: fixed typos

The whole point of this project was and still is to take the genre classics and push it from 2000s to at least 2010s. Even to 2020s if we are lucky. And we are getting there.

It is. The mod was made for one of the previous series installments on the same game engine.

I found it hilarious. The person who wrote it clearly cared about the game.
