Ridgewood, NJ, April 12, in the year of our Lord 2012 – Kalypso
Media today launched the official web site for Port Royale 3:
Pirates and Merchants, their upcoming multi-platform
empire-building game. The site, located at
www.port-royale3.com, showcases screens, videos, news and
enough game info to fill a treasure chest! Port Royale 3:
Pirates and Merchants will arrive in North American retail on
August 28 for consoles and Windows PC.
In Port Royale 3: Pirates and Merchants, players will embark
upon an epic adventure through the Caribbean during the
turbulent 17th century where the naval powers of Spain, England,
France and the Netherlands all fight for supremacy in the
colonies. Players take on the role of a young captain trying to
build his fortune and reputation in the new world colonies. The
campaign consists of two different paths for the young
protagonist to follow: adventurer and trader.
Following the path of the adventurer will lead the player on a
naval conquest where they must gain notoriety through raids,
piracy, bounty hunting, plundering and conquering cities as they
strive to build their new Caribbean empire.
The route of the trader sees the player using their economic
know-how to become the most powerful trading tycoon in the New
World by setting up trade routes, building production facilities
and developing cites.
In free-play mode, the player crafts a combination of the two
paths, creating a unique and challenging scenario on the path to
increase wealth and power.
In addition to the single-player campaign, there are robust
multiplayer modes where players can go head-to-head using
commercial, economic and conquest simulations to allow for
fast-paced gameplay.
