During Gamescom Opening Night Live, Kalypso Media were on hand to debut Tortuga A Pirate’s Tale, however the trailer shown didn’t really have any details. Thankfully, post the show, they have released a proper trailer for it, which you can see below, check it out.

In Tortuga – A Pirate’s Tale, it’s time to see if ye truly have what it takes to become the greatest pirate of the Caribbean! Set sail on the vast and beautiful Caribbean Sea as players commence their journey with their sights on eternal gold and glory.

Simon Hellwig, Kalypso Media Owner and Managing Director says of this news: ‘We are excited to announce our brand-new strategy title Tortuga – A Pirate’s Tale at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, and to be working exclusively with Epic Games Store for the game’s PC release! It’s a fantastic opportunity for us here at Kalypso Media to present our new title to gamers across the globe – we can’t wait for them to play it.’

Choose from 18 unique ship types and customise distinct features from the flag and weaponry to the hull and figurehead. It’s a vast world out there but you are never truly alone, and players will encounter historical pirate captains who they must decide is friend or foe. Take on trading convoys and settlements in tactical turn-based battles to relieve them of the burden of wealth and then use your (stolen) riches to upgrade your formidable fleet. With a mighty fleet and enough gold, you might be able to keep your crew happy. But be warned! You are an elected captain after all, and it is your duty to maintain the morale of your crew or else mutiny could be on the horizon...

The game is aiming to set sail in early 2023 for PC via Epic Game Store, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
