Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned

Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned is an upcoming action role-playing video game currently in development by Propaganda Games and published by Disney Interactive Studios for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows. The game takes place in the open environment of the Caribbean where the player assumes the role of Captain James Sterling who must travel around the world to make a reputation for himself. Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned will be released in early 2011.

Plot
Small details have been released about the plot. Though the game takes place in the Pirates of the Caribbean universe, before the events of the film series, featuring an original plot within the established mythos.

Setting
No specific date for the game is given, but the appearance of the official flag of Great Britain (Union Jack) indicates that the events of the game are placed somewhere during, or after 1707. Some say that the events in the game are placed 15 years before the events of the first Pirates of the Caribbean film.

Gameplay
The player is free to move around the world and has various attacks mapped to certain buttons on the controller. James Sterling has a light and heavy melee attack which can be linked together to create combos. Sterling is also able to weaken enemies by cursing them. Finishing off a cursed enemy will inflict the curse on nearby enemies. The game also has a blocking system which allows for a counter attack.

The player will also have a ship. The ship will allow the player to explore the Caribbean as well as engage in ship combat. The player can choose between attacking a ship's hull, sails, or crew. Attacking the hull will sink the ship, going after the sails will damage their ability to move, and taking out the crew will make boarding easier. As with ground battles, Sterling has special abilities to help him in combat.

Early on the player must choose between two paths: becoming a "Legendary pirate" or a "Dreaded pirate". Occasionally, the player will be able to make choices from the other path. These choices affect things such as Sterling's appearance, personality, weapons, attack, quests available, and the game's ending. The player can also customize their character by choosing which skills to put their experience points in.
