Peter Blood
Privateer
I have just discovered that a new pirate themed video game be on the horizon, me hearties! Judging from the description, it appears to be an open ended, Dragon Age style, Role Playing experience! Honestly, I have no idea why they would pick the name "Raven's Cry" for a pirate themed game, but there probably is a reason. After looking at the features, it struck me as a very similar game to what Armada of the Damned would have been. Perhaps Raven's Cry will fill the empty spot that was to belong to AOTD. Not very many details have been released about the game yet, but I know that the game takes place in the 1660's, it includes historical towns like Port Royal and Tortuga as well as figures like Henry Morgan and L'lonaiss. It will be released on all systems and will include vast, open ended gameplay where you sail your ship across the Caribbean. What strikes me as very intriguing about this game is the fact that you don't play the part of a glorified Jack Sparrow styled buccaneer, but a ruthless and desperate cutthroat inspired by the people pirates truly were. We are looking at a late 2011 to early or mid 2012 release for this game. The link to the official website is bellow.
