Nitro Games releases teaser trailer for Pirates of the Black Cove

Paradox Interactive and Nitro Games released a teaser trailer for the new RTS/RPG game Pirates of Black Cove today.

The game takes place in the 16th century, and will allow players to conquer the Caribbean, and roam an open world with a pirate crew. Notoriety and pirate fame brings you closer to your goal to be the King of All Pirates.

"Pirates of Black Cove is an adventurous strategy game that our community has been waiting for,” said Brendon Neuwerth, COO of Nitro Games. "Combining proper skills with the right amount of Pirate bluster, a pirate might just have a shot at ruling both land and sea. And keep in mind that dead men tell no tales... Savvy?"

Here's some gameplay information:

Getting promotions within the pirate brotherhood requires force, daring, guile and even deceit. But be careful, because other pirates will be competing for promotions too. However, bribery, favors and outright assassinations will ensure that you climb the ranks faster. Join infamous pirate strongholds like Port Royal and Tortuga. As you are promoted to higher ranks, you will own, manage and develop parts of the stronghold and entice other captains to join your fleet.

Join, champion, and unite the three pirate factions; Pirates, Corsairs and Buccaneers. Unite the three Pirate factions to gain access to their hero units and ultimately take down the Pirates of Black Cove and become King of all Pirates. Do you have what it takes or are you a weak land lubber?

Features:

  • Roam the open World with your Pirate crew and pick up missions as you sail the seas.
  • Notoriety and fame brings you closer to your ultimate goal: to be the King of All Pirates
  • Battle it out with the forces of Black Cove and other colonial nations on both land and sea

  • Select your character from several different Pirate Captains, each with their own unique skills and features
  • Varied units and weapons allows You to carry out the battles as You see fit

Pirates of Black Cove is set to launch in Q2 2011. Yar, and all that.
