The world

An ocean full of stories

Sunlit harbours, open water and far-off cities. Corals is an online world you share with other players, and every voyage starts on the docks of Argent.

Argent

Cobalt roofs, busy markets and quest-givers on every corner. Your first steps, your first friends, your first ship.

The open sea

Take the helm, cross the waves and find out what lives beneath them. Some of it is not happy to see you.

The shipyard

Steam, steel and propellers

Corals is a steampunk pirate world: ships are armoured steam vessels with engines, cannons and propellers, not tall galleons. These are real ships from the game, rendered from their in-game 3D models.

Fight on land and at sea

Clear the fields around Argent, then sail out and trade cannon fire with what lurks in the deep. Combat runs in real time, with the skills you pick and place yourself.

  • Monsters, bosses and loot
  • Ships, cannons and sea monsters
  • Your own skill layout on every device

Fish, chop, mine, salvage

Life skills keep the adventure going between fights. Gather wood, ore and fish, raise sunken wrecks, then turn what you find into gear.

An island of your own

Sail to your personal island and build it your way, one piece at a time. It is still there, just as you left it, the next time you drop anchor.

Before we set sail

A few things to know

What is Corals?

Corals is a pirate MMORPG you play in your web browser. It is an independent project that brings the retro spirit of Tales of Pirates into a modern engine, with room to grow new features over time. It is not an official release from the original publisher.

Is Corals free to play?

Yes. Corals is free to play during the open alpha, and there is nothing to buy.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Corals runs in a modern web browser on desktop and mobile. Open playcorals.online/play, create an account and set sail.

Can I play Corals on my phone?

Yes. Touch controls are built for portrait and landscape, and you can place your own skill buttons.

Is Corals a new PKO?

Yes, in spirit. If you played Pirate King Online (PKO) or Tales of Pirates, you will feel at home: Argent, Shaitan and Icicle, the four heroes and their classes, sailing, Forsaken City and the other instances, fairies and forging. Corals rebuilds that world to run in your browser and keeps adding new adventures on top. It is an independent project, not affiliated with the original publishers. Coming from PKO? Start with our guide for PKO and Tales of Pirates players.

Is Corals related to Tales of Pirates?

Corals is inspired by the classic Tales of Pirates: the blue roofs of Argent, the familiar heroes and that feeling of setting out together. It is an independent project, not affiliated with the original publisher.
