Captain Blood, a pirate-themed action game that has been in development for nearly 20 years at SeaWolf Studio, is finally about to set sail soon, according to a new trailer that surfaced for the game this week, one that can confirm it’s coming to not only Xbox and PC—its originally intended platforms—but also PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. Older footage of the game, including an official trailer that premiered at GC 2008, remains available for viewing on the official YouTube channel for Fulqrum Publishing, the game’s original publisher.
Key features include:
- “Epic Pirate Shenanigans: As Captain Blood, live the life of the bravest and most fearsome pirate on the Spanish Main (or at least fake it convincingly).”
- “Intense Action: Dive into fiery hand-to-hand combat and show enemy pirates and landlubbers alike who’s the boss with various slick combat techniques.”
- “Ship Deck Brawls: Fight off enemy pirates trying to board your ship with unique moves, combos, and executions while blasting enemy ships to pieces with your cannons!”
- “Arsenal of Awesomeness: Arm yourself with cutlasses, pistols, muskets, throwing knives, and hand bombs. Don’t forget those sneaky pirate tricks!”
- “Graphic Novel Vibes: Enjoy a unique art style that feels like you’re flipping through a pirate comic book.”
