Web3 gaming continues to evolve, and Pirate Nation, the fully on-chain RPG powered by Arbitrum, is sailing into new waters with the launch of its intense PvE mode — Infinite Tides. Whether you're a seasoned pirate or just hoisting your sails for the first time, this new mode is a roguelite-inspired gauntlet that challenges your tactical prowess, deck-building skills, and endurance — all for the chance to claim exclusive loot.
In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about Infinite Tides, from how to play, what you can earn, and why this could be a game-changer in the world of blockchain games.
What Is Infinite Tides in Pirate Nation?
Infinite Tides is a new PvE (Player vs Environment) mode in Pirate Nation that brings roguelite gameplay mechanics to the blockchain. Players must face off against 25 increasingly difficult, turn-based battles using just one Ship, with health persisting from wave to wave.
Why does this matter? It adds a whole new layer of strategy. You’re not just battling to win — you’re battling to survive long enough to reach the final wave and earn a limited edition skin. If you manage to defeat all 25 handcrafted waves, you’ll unlock “Hanzo the Samurai,” a unique skin awarded only to the first players who complete this challenge.
How Gameplay Works: Strategy Meets Deck-Building
Here’s where things get interesting. Every Infinite Tides run begins with 11 starting cards, with 4 of them tied to your selected Pirate and Ship. These cards determine your playstyle, strengths, and potential strategies throughout your run.
After each successful wave, you’re offered three new card choices to add to your deck — unless you’re a VIP Pass holder, in which case you get to pick from four options. Don’t like any of them? You can choose to pass and stick with your current deck. This adds an exciting element of deck-crafting as you progress, tailoring your abilities to tackle increasingly challenging enemies.
Every decision matters, especially since Ship health carries over between battles. One bad choice could sink your entire run.
Limited-Time Rewards: Hanzo the Samurai
What’s a roguelite without epic loot?
To commemorate the launch of Infinite Tides, Proof of Play has released a time-limited reward: the Hanzo the Samurai skin, available to any pirate who clears all 25 waves. But here’s the catch — you only have 7 days from the launch date (June 4) to claim this exclusive asset.
This isn’t just a cosmetic flex. In the world of blockchain gaming, unique skins like Hanzo can become valuable digital collectibles — potentially tradable, ownable, and usable across future in-game experiences.
How to Access Infinite Tides: A Quick Guide
Getting started with Infinite Tides is easy, even if you’re new to Pirate Nation.
Head to the main game screen.
Open the navigation panel on the left.
Click the new Infinite Tides icon, right next to the PvP mode.
Select your Pirate and Ship, each of which provides two unique cards.
Higher-level players benefit from better card versions, but the mode is designed to be fun and rewarding for newcomers as well. It’s a balanced entry point for anyone exploring blockchain games for the first time.
Play for Free (But With Limits)
Each day, players receive 3 free Infinite Tides Keys, which grant access to three attempts at the mode. If you’re eager to push harder, you can purchase up to 3 additional keys daily for 50 Gems each.
This structure strikes a solid balance: it rewards skill and planning without veering into pay-to-win territory. Players can enjoy daily runs for free, while more competitive or committed pirates can boost their chances with extra attempts.
Don’t Miss the PvP Action: Legend of Darkness Event
While you’re mastering Infinite Tides, don’t overlook Pirate Nation's current PvP event — Legend of Darkness. Running from May 27 to June 25, this competitive season offers a whopping 2 million $PIRATE tokens to the top 1,000 players.
Whether you prefer solo PvE roguelite adventures or intense player duels, Pirate Nation now caters to both playstyles. Combine rewards from Infinite Tides with PvP rankings to build your pirate empire on the blockchain.
