Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles
Reik's Fashion and Fledgling Griffon - Free DLC!
These DLCs are free to everyone who has bought already or who buys during Early Access.
(Reik’s Fashion will also be free to anyone who buys it in first week of full release)
We have had a lot of requests for more customisation for the main characters, so we trawled through the Warhammer archives to create the Reik’s Fashion DLC.
This allows you to dress in the height of Reik's fashion! The DLC includes a swish and not too rotting Shark hat, the Helm of the Skaven Slayer, plus more!
For the other DLC we thought the game could do with a lucky mascot! The majestic Fledgling Griffon is a morale booster for your crew. They are a superstitious lot and this beautiful creature is regarded as a sign of good luck!
Again thanks to everyone who has worked hard with us on this game so far. As fans of the original Man O’ War tabletop game it means a lot to us!
Redeeming
You should already have these activated on your account!
The Reik's Fashion clothing will appear in your captain's inventory (on loading a save game or starting a new game, it'll be there for all your human captains).
The Fledgling Griffon is available as a ship upgrade for any human ship in the refit menu at the docks/shipyard.
tl;dr
Thanks! Hats + Fledgling Griffon = Free DLC for Early Access purchasers! Thanks again!
