As far as the game mechanisms, you heard it here first--it will be a campaign style, sandbox narrative led by developer Dr Sam Hillier.

To color in the stories of the game, we've partnered with famous historical fiction writer, Helen Hollick. A part of the story line and global missions will be based on the Sea Witch Voyages and When The Mermaid Sings, from her nautical fantasy adventure series.

Captain Jesamiah Acorne and his woman - the White Witch, Tiola Oldstagh are the stuff of legends...if you are looking to scratch that Pirate itch. Helen’s writing is first class and you should it out HERE or by clicking the images.

Helen Hollick is also our lead historical consultant for The Pirate Republic: Africa Gambit.

The great thing about historical Pirates is their narratives pretty much write themselves. You'll relive those campaigns while adding a bit of your own decisions to tell the story as you heard it or as you see fit. That's about as far as I'll let you peak under the game design tent...for now.
