Galleon

Initial placeholder article for the Galleon future hull
Galleon is a planned future ship hull in Windrose that is not playable in the Early Access launch build. The hull exists as an unlockable design paper in the live game files but cannot currently be obtained through any vendor, quest, drop, or crafting recipe. The Galleon is one of three additional hull classes (alongside the Brigantine and Big Merchant) identified by data-mining and unfinished design-paper UI as future Early Access content.
Property | Value |
|---|---|
Status as of April 26, 2026 | Not playable. Design paper exists in game files but cannot be obtained. |
Confirmed by | Game-file references and unlockable design-paper UI entries; community discussion has named the Galleon as the most-anticipated future hull |
Expected release | Future Early Access content; no specific patch window announced |
Hull category | Large hull, expected to sit at or above the Frigate tier in role |
Among the three data-mined future hulls, the Galleon draws the most community attention for two reasons. First, the historical Age of Piracy Galleon is the iconic large warship of the era, which makes it the natural endgame goal for players invested in the naval-progression power fantasy. Second, the Galleon is the most-named hull in launch-week press coverage discussing future content, which has elevated it into the de-facto symbol of the studio's stated more-ships expansion plan.
Confirmed: The Galleon design paper is referenced in game files. Speculation: everything else, including specific stats, variants, role in the cannon-slot ladder, unlock path, and release window. The studio has not provided official information on any individual data-mined hull.
Variant pattern (Stock / Brethren / Blackbeard) is unconfirmed; the existing playable hulls all follow it but the Galleon could break the pattern
Cannon slot count and class is unconfirmed; community guesses range from 16 to 30 cannons split across 12-pounder, 24-pounder, and 36-pounder slots
Cargo capacity is unconfirmed; the historical Galleon role suggests trade-leaning capacity but no in-game data confirms this
Crew size is unconfirmed; the existing Frigate caps at the launch-build crew size and a hull above Frigate would presumably need more
Faction reputation requirements are unconfirmed
Patch window is unconfirmed; the studio has stated only that more ships are part of the Early Access roadmap
When the Galleon ships, expect a Steam news patch announcement, an update to the in-game ship-building UI to enable the design paper, and updates to the Ship Types and Ships articles. Until then, treat this page as a placeholder confirming the hull exists in data only and that all gameplay specifics are unverified.
