Age of Pirates 2 Announced

Playlogic announces Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships, an adventure/RPG sequel planned for release on May 12, 2009.

The history of this franchise is a bit confused at this point, as Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales was actually a sequel to Sea Dogs, while the game developed as Sea Dogs 2 was released as a Pirates of the Caribbean tie-in. Also, an action-oriented installment in the series to be titled Age of Pirates: Captain Blood was announced several years ago, but has suffered a number of delays and has not been heard from in some time. Back to the new announcement, the Age of Pirates Website now launches a site for the new game with media and information, and here's the deal:

    New York — April 20, 2009 – Playlogic Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq OTC: PLGC.OB), an independent worldwide publisher of entertainment software, announced today that Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships is coming to retail stores nationwide May 12, 2009. The action-packed pirate adventure role playing game (RPG) for PC features dozens of quests and infinite challenges, where players can sail the high seas as a swashbuckling dread pirate or assume the role of a dashing naval captain.

    “This sequel to the popular Age of Pirates franchise reinvents itself with a larger playing field and exciting new content from a new combat system and trading options to numerous quests and character classes,” said Rogier Smit, executive vice president of Playlogic. “The game’s free-roaming options expand the storyline and challenge players with endless hours of adventure.”

    Players courageous enough to delve into the dangerous world of Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships will discover treasure and adventure as they choose to go it alone and become the most feared pirate on the seven seas, or prove their loyalty and take the coin of one of four different navies; French, English, Spanish or Dutch. As players navigate their own route through the seas of the Caribbean they can explore strange new countries and undiscovered civilizations, plunder merchant ships and even raid fortified ports and cities – interacting with nearly every character and/or building along the way.

    Game features include:

            • Ship-to-ship combat and toe-to-toe clashes
            • 3 diverse characters and 3 classes: Merchant, Corsair and Adventurer
            • 4 main campaigns
            • 40+ quests and 40+ quest generators allowing for an infinite amount of quests
            • New combat system for faster fights
            • 3 weapon classes: light, medium and heavy
            • Advanced trading system
            • Real-life historical characters such as Jamaican governors Colonel Thomas Lynch and Thomas Modyford

    Almost everything can be adjusted to players' wishes, making customization and resource management a key element to gameplay. Let this serve as a warning; in Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships the dead do not sleep easy, and both myth and reality frequently intertwine.

Yes, I have it. I havent played it, though. I wanted to play it with the "Supermod" that someone made that supposedly fixed a lot of things, but the mod is a large download and I didnt get around to it.
