MicroProse is proud to announce that Rise of Piracy, a sandbox blend of action, exploration, and real-time strategy, will launch in Early Access on Steam on February 24.
In Rise of Piracy, players begin their journey as the captain of a single ship and gradually rise to command a powerful fleet. Set in a hand-crafted world of islands, ports, and open seas, the game combines large-scale naval warfare, land-based RTS combat, diplomacy, trade, and open-ended progression, allowing players to shape their own path to power.
The Early Access release delivers a fully playable campaign experience, designed to be both substantial and replayable from day one.
Players will interact with nine factions through trade, missions, and diplomacy, engage in large-scale naval and land battles within the same theater, and build fleets by recruiting crews, upgrading ships, and expanding their influence across the world.
Early Access Features:
Fully playable campaign map
9 factions with trade, missions, and dynamic diplomacy
Large-scale naval and land RTS battles
Fleet building with ships, crews, and upgrades
