The Ottoman Empire has joined the six existing nations in Uncharted Waters Online with the launch of the latest update. Players now have the option to stick with their original nation and fight against the Ottoman military or defect to this powerful new empire.

The update also introduces a new quest, a new ship, new cultures and the ability to own a deserted island as your private production base.

Uncharted Waters Online was added to gPotato's free-to-play gaming portal a couple months ago, giving North American and European players a more reliable connection to the historic nautical MMO.
