“We’re staying away from cliches. Things like walking the plank, parrots on the shoulder and hooks for hands. We are giving pirates the HBO, reality treatment. And that allows us to redefine piracy in entertainment. No longer is it for kids.”
– Lead content manager Carsten Myhill
I doubt I’m the only one, but something tells me the game will be quite far from a realistic and honest depiction of piracy back in the 17th and 18th century…
