Gaming News - March 2003
Rockville, MD (March 27, 2003) - Bethesda Softworks and Disney
Interactive today announced that Bethesda Softworks will publish a Pirates of
the Caribbean video game for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and PC.
From Bethesda:
Inspired by one of this summer's most anticipated blockbusters, the game will
bring swashbuckling adventures and rich worlds to Xbox and PC this June, and to
PlayStation 2 at a later date.
Featuring stunning graphics, deep role-playing elements and thrilling quests,
the Pirates of the Caribbean game offers players the unique opportunity to prove
their mettle against the legendary buccaneers of the Caribbean.
"The Pirates of the Caribbean game transports players to the 17th Century
where they can experience life as a pirate in any way they see fit," said
executive producer Todd Vaughn. "Whether they want to be feared by all and
welcome nowhere, or just enjoy compelling missions or a life at sea, we're
creating a game that fits their gameplay style."
The Pirates of the Caribbean video game is a unique role-playing experience
with an intriguing storyline and the ability to explore everything the world has
to offer. Deciding to become a cold-hearted mercenary for hire, a peaceful and
profitable merchant or a swashbuckling pirate will influence future
interactions. Gaining wealth and experience gives players the opportunity to
hire crewmembers, sail larger ships, and uncover priceless treasures.
Players will enjoy advanced AI, incredibly detailed characters and vessels,
breath taking views at sea, and lush, exotic locales. Enhancing the game's
realism, wind and water conditions will affect how ships sail and fight. Day and
night lighting and beautiful water effects make the game come alive.
"The appeal of Pirates of the Caribbean is timeless. The franchise will now
have the opportunity to transcend many entertainment mediums and genres," said
Sanjeev Lamba, vice president of marketing and international at Disney
Interactive. "Bethesda's reputation and expertise in creating compelling RPGs
will make Pirates of the Caribbean a role-playing game experience that will
reflect the true spirit of the franchise."
