- Welcome to the first release in our Capture the Chest expansion! Rather than have a bulk release all at once, we will be splitting up the expansion into several updates to get content to you sooner and to reduce the number of bugs that occur.
- Part 1 (this update) releases Lobbies, an overhaul of the old Lookout matchmaking system. Learn more in the Features section.
- Future updates part of our CTC expansion series include: Overhauled Crew Finder, the Capture the Chest game mode, more PvP maps, and a new Objective Infamy track with rewards.
- New Lobbies System
- The old Lookout system has been completely overhauled with Lobbies, an original system exclusive to TLOPO.
- Create groups for various activities and play your way with new locations to choose from.

- Host PvP matches and for the first time ever, choose your team!
- The Black Pearl Treasure Map Returns!
