- Big focus on Kenway's ship. Can upgrade/customise.
- Spyglass to spot ships and distant islands.
- Open world ship exploration. Metroidvania style world design that requires ship upgrades to better access certain areas.

- Bartholomew Roberts' assualt on 42 Portuguese ships, and the Spanish Armada wreck, to be shown.
