Nitro Games' recent historical strategy game East India Company is already getting an upcoming expansion pack called Privateer. However there are already plans to release a new patch for the game (they are calling it a "free add-on") that will add a number of new features and content to the title.

Publisher Paradox Interactive is calling the upcoming update a "Designer's Cut" that will give the game two new multiplayer modes (Beehive and Breakthrough - and no, we don't know what they mean by those titles either) along with new port views, a way for tactical battles to be fought in island environments and more. Look for the update to be released on October 27. In the meantime Paradox has lowered the price of the game to $29.99.
