Pirates of the Burning Sea will soon have a unique town for every port in the game, according to Eric, an environmental artist.

Our current task for the environment team is to create updated versions of all our in-game towns to replace the generic re-used art that we currently have in place at most ports. That means a unique town for every port in the game!

Geometry and textures will be changed, and the towns will receive new lighting effects for different times of day. You can check out some before and after screenshots in Eric's blog post. The updates are quite impressive.
