Similar to the co-op modes in previous entries, Survival is a wave-based mode that supports up to three players. You and your friends will have to hold out against Shoreline mercenaries and other foes for 50 waves while also completing specific objectives, such as defending an area or collecting treasures within a time limit. Every 10th wave you'll face off against one of the Pirate-Lords, who appear to have dipped into the ghostly/mystical side of things. The Survival mode will also include its own dedicated progression and challenge system that's separate from the multiplayer one.
