About
Ahoy, sailors! Welcome back to the legendary video game that set the seas a-shakin’: Corsairs! With Corsairs: Battle of the Caribbean, the reboot scheduled for release in 2024 on consoles and PC, immerse yourself in an up-to-date combination of adventure, strategy, and management. Get ready to sail the seas of the Caribbean for fame and fortune!
In the original Corsairs, released over 20 years ago, players played the role of a privateer in the service of England, France or Holland, seeking to gain fame and wealth for his country. In Corsairs: Battle of the Caribbean, the strategy game reinvents itself in the ever-popular world of buccaneering, bringing with it a welcome touch of the modern world. The game features Campaign, Adventure, and the new Skirmish mode (quick mode) against AI in solo, locally, or online with up to four players.
Considered one of the best ever pirate-themed strategy games, Corsairs: Battle of the Caribbean combines tactical combat with management-oriented gameplay. The revised and updated trading mechanics encourage you to intelligently manage your fleet and defend your trading positions, with the possibility of improving your ship and accessing a treasure map system… Not to mention the reworked “Boarding” mode, expanded with several classes of soldiers… and a Captain who can now take part in battles.
Corsairs: Battle of the Caribbean sees you navigate the stormy waters of the Caribbean, build a powerful fleet, and battle enemy ships. Explore the exotic islands of the Antilles to discover hidden treasures, recruit crew members for your ships, and struggle for the supremacy of your nation in the Caribbean as either French, Danish, Spanish, British, or Dutch.
