'Pirates' Set Sail Online
Disney is advocating online piracy. But it’s the “arr matey” kind. Gamersreport is – er – reporting that the MMORPG genre is going to a little more crowded with Disney Online unveiling a "Pirates of the Caribbean" game at this year’s E3 expo.
Capturing the high seas and swashbuckling adventures found in both “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” and the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” players embark on quests for adventure and treasure in an effort to become the Caribbean’s most legendary pirate. Featuring hundreds of customization options, players create and customize their own pirate, form a crew, and set sail on the high seas. Along the way they learn skills and tactics from the notorious Jack Sparrow, helping them forge alliances, hunt for buried treasure, battle evil undead forces and face off against known enemies from the movie franchise.
The game is being developed by Disney’s VR Studio, makers of Toontown Online. The game will face a lot of competition in the MMORPG genre, not just butting heads with genre toppers such as World of Warcraft, but another upcoming pirate MMORPG as well. You can check out the official Pirates of the Caribbean game site here.
