James Parkin

Live to tell the tale of becoming a notorious pirate captain or suffer a fate of eternal damnation. Disney Interactive Studios recently announced the development of Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned, an epic, action role-playing game from Propaganda Games, Disney’s video game development studio in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Armada of the Damned is an entirely new experience within the Pirates of the Caribbean universe. The game takes place before the events of the blockbuster films. Players will take on the role of a pirate and embark on epic land and sea adventures. Numerous moral and character choices will need to be made that affect their character and the original story within the world. Players will explore a massive open world while fighting enemies, mystical creatures and Mother Nature, both to gain experience and stay alive. Supernatural elements familiar to the Pirates of the Caribbean world will also affect their character’s story and influence their choices.

“Armada of the Damned is a dynamic action role-playing game that captures all of the franchise’s excitement, unpredictability and action while delving into narrative elements never before explored within this unique universe,” said Dan Tudge, vice president and general manager, Propaganda Games. “Our team’s collective experience with industry-leading RPGs and action titles provides a strong foundation for us to create and build a compelling action role-playing title.”

Armada of the Damned is scheduled to be released in autumn 2010.

  • Looks pretty good, though not sure it's my kind of game. Bring on the Achievements!!
  • They're making another? As if the other ones didn't suck so hard. (Which they did)
  • If it plays like Sid Meiers Pirates! then I am all on board!
  • How ace would that be if they were in game graphics :)
  • If this is anything like the first Pirates of the Caribbean game, it's going to suck. 0_o
  • Dude, looks sweeht
  • Sounds alright to me, always wanted to see how butt pirates lived.
  • Not really btw, but sure.
  • Its not like the first one at all. Its a Sandbox RPG, like Fallout 3. Not a movie ripoff.
  • you people mean the 1st xbox 360 1 or the game on the orig xbox coz that game was amazing.
  • Made well, this title could reach the stars !
  • This sounds great. Im all aboard. Nice water graphics too. Cant wait to see how it pans out.
  • Another Pirate game after the last one wasn't great at all. I mean this day and age I don't think Disney has a really great track record. I mean even though it's not a movie tie in. How can Disney make a pirate game? It's probably going to be rated Teen or lower. And what good is that when Pirates need dirty, swashbuckling personalities that make any dignitary curl at the thought of them. Maybe, just maybe Disney could pull it off.
  • i agree with comment 13. They may pull it off but the problem is its a childs sort of game. a game where mostly children play it. although i'd like to hear how it turns out in the end.
  • this IS lame
  • That's not Captain Jack, so I presume it'll just be set in the PotC world. I presume they're just hanging on the coat-tails of the movies rather than having it anything to do with them.
  • I for one and psyched for this game, it sounds like a winner to me. Its not going to be a movie tie which means they have all the time in the world to make it super kick ass.
  • Well this has certainly got my interest, can't say I'm looking forward, but I do hope it turns out to be good, this game really has potential. I mean it's a fucking RPG about pirates.
  • If this is what you they say it is, then it's a new winner IP.
  • easy achievements i hope! always good! but where is jack ????
  • if this plays anywhere close to sid meiers pirates games it's a must buy. a sandbox rpg with pirates can not fail. and if it does the programmers suck...
  • There needs to be a good pirate action/RPG game. I'll make sure to check up on this one periodically.
  • finally a sandbox pirate game! Why did it take so long to make one? Hope it docent come out bad like the others...then again you didn't really get to drive ships. If you can in this one, it counts as a win in my book.
  • Yay! A priate game, can't wait for this!!
  • If it's anything like the first one for pc and original xbox, it'll be crap.
  • Hoping this is something like SeaDogs, but at the same time, it's not Bethesda, so who knows...
  • it starts to sound a bit like a Mass Effect game and if they are able to pull it off, and hopefully with not too cartoony characters and preferably an M rating, it might turn out decent.
  • if this anything like the orginal on the orginal xbox and is nothink like the movie games. This will be amazing.I was think realistly about the first game and how they should remake it or make new one.
  • Hopefully it'll improve even more upon the SeaDogs, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales vein... for one thing, it's about time for a pirate MMORPG that lets you design your own character, ship, and flag... Oh, yeah.
  • Looks pretty good.
  • YEA MAN!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW PIRATE GAME!!!!!
  • If this is made right it could be really cool!
  • @15 You ARE lame. It sounds abit like Fable..lol
  • At first, before reading, I thought there was going to be another film(as tie-ins go.), but afterwards, I seem surprisingly optimistic for this game. If there's multiplayer, I might buy!
  • @34 There is going to be another POTC film but yeah this isnt a Tie-in game
  • People who are saying "itf its like the other game its gunna be crap, waaaa waaa waa" are retarded. Its an RPG ffs, nothing like the crap that was At Worlds End. On topic, those screens look sweet. Gunna have to try this out when its released :)
  • The first Pirates that was only PC was great. The box was the only thing branded to Pirates of the Carribean. You play as a generic pirate captain not jack swallows. If it's like that it might be promising. I would prefer an updated sid meiers pirates though. Specially if it had no dancing(or even less dancing would be nice) and better fight mechanics
  • @35 Are you sure this is not tied in to the up-coming movie? Since it is likely that there will be a tie-in game of the movie and the movie should come out around the same time this game does.
  • looks good. it has great graphics
  • The game looks a bit like the graphics in Meet The Robinsons! You have to agree that "At World's End" graphics looked.... OK-ish! (Only In HD) I dont think i will want to get this new game unless the achievements ARE REALLY REALLY easy! and none of this bullshit 100 souls, finding that very hard to get at the momnet,
  • is this ever gonna come out
  • This game has been cancelled...
