Playlogic to publish Captain Blood
Posted by Björn September 22, 2005
Playlogic has announced that it has signed an agreement with Akella in
which it will publish "Captain Blood" for the PC and Xbox360 in
cooperation with 1C Company. Captian Blood is a pirate action game
based on Rafael Sabatini’s novel, “Captain Blood: His Odyssey,” and is
scheduled to be released early summer of 2006.
"The player takes the role of a brave and noble corsair, following his
intriguing and amazing adventures in 1685 Spanish Main, where an
English surgeon was framed and condemned to penal servitude on
Barbados. During hard times he became a pirate and escaped from his
tropical prison. The Caribbean was quickly set ablaze by his deeds and
exploits. Captain Blood gives players an extraordinary chance to live
the life of the most eccentric pirate from Rafael Sabatini’s
bestselling book.
While the Spanish Maritime Empire spread around the world, the "Spanish
Main" referred to the coastal region of the Americas surrounding the
Caribbean Sea, particularly the coast of South America from the Isthmus
of Panama to the mouth of the Orinoco River.
The game's mission-based structure gives players a diverse battlefield
on both land and sea, where they must engage in ship-to-ship battles
and sword fights to gain control of invaded ships. Gamers earn special
points for fighting rival sea dogs, acquiring new fighting techniques
and gold for weapons and equipment."
