Sea of Conquest listed a new crossover event in its August store update

FunPlus International AG updated the Google Play store listing for Sea of Conquest: Pirate War on August 9, 2026. The listing's update note said that a crossover event had arrived with a brand-new Hero. That sentence is the complete named detail exposed by the store page as checked.

The store update is now confirmed stale rather than merely historical. Rechecked on September 13, 2026, the official seaofconquest.com News section has not been updated since April 2024 and never carried a crossover notice, so it cannot resolve this blocker. The developer's verified official X account, the only active official channel found for this game, shows that a separate, newer crossover event shipped with the September 8, 2026 version 1.1.790 update, using the same generic wording, "a brand-new Hero." Whether that is the same crossover as the August 9 listing or a different one is not established by either post. Three limits stay open. The Google Play listing is a second-hand, Android-only record that does not speak for the PC client, neither official post names a crossover partner, a Hero or the event rules, and RigCircuit has not inspected either event in the game.

The Google Play page shows FunPlus International AG as the developer for Sea of Conquest: Pirate War. Its version information says the listing was updated on August 9, 2026. In the What is new section, the publisher states that the crossover event has arrived and that it brings a new Hero.

That wording supports two bounded claims. A crossover event was presented as available in the dated store update, and a new Hero was associated with that event. The wording does not provide a full patch note, a named collaboration, a character description or a list of rewards.

The official listing also links to the Sea of Conquest website and support email. Those links establish the store page as a developer-controlled product page. They do not supply the missing event details, so this article does not fill them with speculation from social posts or community discussions.

The checked store page does not identify the other franchise or brand involved in the crossover. It also does not say whether the new Hero is an original Sea of Conquest character, a visiting character or a limited event unit. The page does not describe the event missions, the event currency, the availability period or any account requirements.

That missing information changes the way this news should be read. Readers can confirm that FunPlus advertised the event in its store changelog. They cannot use this page alone to plan a route through the event or to determine which rewards remain available. An article that names a partner or a Hero without a second official source would go beyond the evidence.

Store listings are useful timestamps for product updates because they are attached to the publisher's application record. They are also compact. A one-line changelog can confirm that an update was submitted or highlighted without documenting every gameplay change. That makes a listing acceptable corroboration and nothing more. It cannot stand as the primary source for an announcement, and this article treats it as a starting point rather than as proof.

For this reason, the August 9 date is the article's event date, while the article labels the event trigger as a store update. It is not presented as a complete release note. The distinction protects the reader from confusing a marketing line with a full event guide.

The listing's general description mentions recurring activities such as the weekly Pirate Revel event and other naval adventures. Those descriptive sections are not dated event notes, so this report does not treat them as evidence about the August crossover. Only the dated update note is used for the news trigger.

The checked source is a Google Play listing, which is official but second-hand. It records the Android product page, it lags the publisher, it varies by region, and it does not document a Windows launcher, a PC build or cross-save behaviour for this crossover. PC readers should wait for a notice on the official website or an in-client message that states whether the event is available on their platform.

The Google Play listing is a second-hand record for the Android product page. It does not confirm whether either crossover is available on PC. Check the current in-game notice or a new FunPlus announcement before assuming the event appears on your platform.

If you find a current client notice, compare its version, event window, regions, Hero name, entry point and reward terms with this August listing. Use the current in-game notice for your account if it differs from the store update.

RigCircuit has not measured loading time, frame rate, input latency or network behavior for this event. The addition of a Hero is content information, not evidence of a performance change or a hardware requirement.

This report does not identify the crossover partner or the new Hero. It does not claim a particular event duration, reward value, drop rate, platform rollout or regional availability. It does not report a benchmark, a hardware recommendation or a hands-on result.

It also does not claim that the August crossover is still running, that it is the same event as the September 1.1.790 crossover, or that a Google Play listing speaks for the PC client. Neither official post gives an event window or a platform statement.

The selected illustrative hero is self-hosted under the dated WordPress path. Its source, rights record, crop context, credit and hash are in the frontmatter and visual register. It is illustrative media, not evidence of the reported event.

The source used for this report is FunPlus International AG's Google Play listing for Sea of Conquest: Pirate War, checked on August 26, 2026 and rechecked on September 13, 2026. The listing displays an August 9, 2026 update date and the What is new note about a crossover event and a new Hero.

A store listing is a second-hand Android source. It does not establish PC availability. On September 13, 2026, the official seaofconquest.com News section had no entry after April 2024. The developer's verified official X account was checked instead, as the only active official channel: its September 7, 2026 post confirms a version 1.1.790 update shipped a crossover event on September 8, 2026, without naming the partner or Hero. That post does not establish whether the August and September listings describe the same event. Treat them as separate until a primary notice or current client confirms their relationship.
