We reported back in April that Flying Lab Software had announced this Summer as a launch window for the upcoming "Power & Prestige" update for Pirates of the Burning Sea, but today we've got a more firm date for you.

Flying Lab Software announced today that "Power & Prestige" will be going live this August. The update will introduce over 60 new missions, four new factions, the expansive Port Governance system, and a new  "brawling" combat school, and tons more.

You can find out more about the update at the official Pirates of the Burning Sea website.

Also, be sure to check out the latest dev blog which focuses on the enhanced lighting system that will be coming to POTBS with the new update.
