Welcome to the home of new Horizons
Beyond new HOrizons
Beyond New Horizons is the successor of the community loved New Horizons mod for the Pirates of Caribbean (Sea Dogs 2) game running on the latest open source Storm engine.
New Horizons: Refined Edition
Emerging from Maelstrom New Horizons, New Horizons: Refined Edition (NH: RE) is an improved version of the original New Horizons (Build 14), running on the open source Storm DX9 engine.
Features in both versions
Selectable storylines
Freeplay
Ships
Choose your ship based on your liking
Characters
Search the Caribbean for familiar faces
Locations
Direct sail
Improved stability
Both engines allow for much greater stability compared to the base game
Better graphics
The upgraded engines allow for more beautiful graphics in both games
See the differences!
As the games are running on different engines, you will encounter unique features in each one.
We recommend BNH for beginners given its much simpler land combat system while we suggest veterans of the sea dogs series to go for NH: RE.
In any case, you are free to choose the version that is right for you!
