General information
- Released as Sea Dogs: City of Abandoned Ships on digital stores. Titled Корсары: Город потерянных кораблей in Russia.
- Digital versions don't include the manual (link 1, link 2) and map that the retail packages came with. You should read both since they are strongly recommended for the game (though world maps can also be bought in-game).
