Well, here's a cannon blast from the past. Pirates, Vikings & Knights 2 hit 1.0 on Steam while nobody was looking. What's that? You don't remember Pirates, Vikings & Knights 2? Don't blame yourself. There's a reasonable chance you weren't born when it first set sail into the freshly pixel-shaded waters of Half-Life 2 modding.
This free multiplayer Source mod first landed on Steam in 2010, but its original version stretches all the way back to 2007—nearly eighteen years ago. Developer Octoshark studios measures that remarkable span of time in a slightly different manner. "It's been over 6,500 days since PVKII was unleashed," writes Octoshark in its 1.0 announcement. "Since then, we've sailed a long and thrilling course—shaped by countless hours of passion and the unwavering support of our community."
