Captain Blood Scheduled for Winter 2009 Release

[News Crew]

Over at IGN, they have a new hands on preview of 1C's upcoming action adventure Captain Blood! Captain Blood is a hack'n'slash game, very loosely based on the classic novels by Rafael Sabatini. This game was originally being developed by Akella as Age of Pirates : Captain Blood, but has since been taken over by SeaWolf, an internal studio for 1C publishing. The game is scheduled to be released sometime around winter of 2009. No firm release date has been set. Captain Blood will be available on PC and the XBox 360.

 

 Players will take on the role of Captain Blood, the famous pirate as he sails his ship Arabella through the Spanish Main. The game will provide a number of missions that will take players on sea and land for gold and glory. In fact, the section of the demo that I played started out in a settlement that was being attacked by a large force of soldiers and eventually wound up at sea. Captain Blood and his crew, who were on shore at the time (presumably for supplies) find themselves wrapped up in the middle of the battle, and have to fight their way back to the ship in order to make a getaway.​
