01 / THE GUIDE
Realistic Open World
The game’s world represents a 1/320 scale of the real planet, showing eight national powers, 200 ports, 60 villages, and over 300 battlegrounds. Weather is drawn from 20 historical types, reflecting conditions sailors faced in the 16th century.
Landmarks, relics, and historic sailors are modeled from the era, allowing players to encounter authentic locations while navigating the seas in high‑definition 4K 3D graphics.
- Check the in‑game weather forecast before a long voyage to avoid storms that could delay travel.
- Visit smaller villages; they often host unique goods not found in larger ports.
02 / THE GUIDE
Real‑time Trade System
Goods are tied to regional specialties, and market prices shift according to supply and demand. Players can monitor these fluctuations and decide when to buy low and sell high, influencing their wealth and fleet development.
The system encourages continual observation of price changes at different ports, making strategic planning a core part of the trading experience.
- Compare prices at several nearby ports before loading cargo to find the best profit margin.
- Carry a mix of goods to reduce risk if a single market’s price drops sharply.
03 / THE GUIDE
Admirals and Chronicles
The title recreates admirals from the original series and adds historic figures from the 15‑17th centuries. Their campaigns provide narrative direction within the open world, guiding players toward specific objectives.
Following an admiral’s chronicle can lead to missions involving trade, combat, or exploration, giving structure to a largely sandbox environment.
- Read each admiral’s brief description to choose a chronicle that matches your interests.
- Progress through a chronicle to unlock additional story scenes tied to that admiral.
04 / THE GUIDE
Combat and PvP
Ship‑to‑ship battles occur across more than 300 designated battlegrounds, offering varied tactical settings. Players may engage in online PvP or cooperate with allies in co‑op encounters.
Combat is integrated with the open world, so battles can arise while trading, exploring, or pursuing admiral objectives, adding risk and reward to voyages.
- Observe the layout of a battleground before engaging to choose advantageous positioning.
- Coordinate with allies in co‑op mode to handle stronger enemy fleets.

Audio and Voice
More than 104 fully orchestrated tracks, including the classic theme composed by Yoko Kanno, accompany gameplay. The music adapts to different moments, enhancing immersion.
A cast of veteran Japanese voice actors—such as Kensho Ono and Yui Ishikawa—delivers dialogue that reinforces the historical atmosphere during voyages and story events.
- Raise the music volume during exploration to enjoy the orchestral ambience.
- Enable subtitles if you prefer to read dialogue alongside the voice performances.
