Seven hundred years

After a mysterious calamity drowned the world, you wash ashore with no memory. Storms rule the sky, twisted wildlife stalks the beaches, and rusted machines rot beneath the waves. With little more than a broken ship and fragments of a forgotten past, you begin a journey north, sailing from island to island in search of answers.

As you push farther into the unknown, you'll uncover the remnants of a lost civilization, piece together the truth behind the calamity, and discover the ancient evil poisoning the ocean.

Nokai is playable solo or online co-op for 1–5 players.

Build and upgrade your ship to reach places you couldn't before. Improve its capabilities to push farther into the world and survive increasingly dangerous waters. Move freely around the deck, manage the engines, and man the cannons and harpoons as you fight through storms, hostile creatures, and dangerous ocean encounters. Work together with your crew to keep the ship moving, defend it from threats, and make it safely to the next island.

Create a character that plays the way you want. Shape your stats, develop your abilities, and experiment with different weapon classes and elemental magic to create powerful combinations. Equip armor and gear with unique properties, discover better equipment as you explore, and tailor your build to suit the way you want to play.

Discover handcrafted islands, each with their own challenges, secrets, and stories. Explore distinct biomes shaped by unique environmental conditions, encounter new enemies and hazards, gather local resources, discover forgotten places and lore from the drowned world, and meet islanders who live by their own routines and priorities.

Survive the world together in 1-5 player online co-op. Explore dangerous islands, sail as a crew, and work together aboard your ship to keep the engines running, man the cannons, and overcome the threats ahead. Combine different weapons, elemental magic, and abilities to form a crew that fits your playstyle.

Prepare carefully before pushing into the unknown. Set up camps to establish footholds and unlock crafting and faster travel, gather local resources to upgrade your gear, and keep your ship repaired, fueled and your supplies stocked. The farther you venture, the more preparation survival demands.

There's always something else to find, even beyond the main adventure. Take a break to fish the waters, tame horses and other pets, search for hidden treasure, and discover the many smaller activities, side quests, secrets, and surprises scattered throughout the world.
