The scenario directly pulls inspiration from Sid Meier’s Pirates!, according to associate producer Kevin Schultz in a new Game Update video, and can be played with up to four players. It will pit players against each other in a “contest for treasure and glory on the high seas”, accompanied by art and assets that have been updated to create a more “tropical, pirate-y atmosphere”.
It will feature four different pirate factions – the Dread Pirates, Privateers, Swashbucklers and Hoarders – each with their own unique abilities. Players will also face off against aggressive navies from AI nations such as the British, Spanish, French and Dutch.
