Kalypso Media and Gaming Minds have released their seafaring trade management sim, Port Royale 4, on Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

This new installment in the long-running trade management series once again allows players to build a merchant empire across the 17th century Caribbean.

Advance the colonial agendas of France, England, Spain, or the Netherlands in the New World, all while making a hefty profit on the side. In addition to setting up trade routes and managing budding port towns, players can also take a more illicit path to accruing wealth by hoisting the Jolly Roger above their heavily armed private fleet.

You can find the launch trailer below.

You can find a rundown of the game (via Steam) below:

Set sail and join the colonial powers of Spain, England, France and the Netherlands in their fight for supremacy of the Caribbean in the 17th century.
In ‘Port Royale 4’ you will take control of a colony as a young and ambitious governor who is eager to learn what it takes to manage and grow his small settlement into a bustling trader city.

Develop production chains connecting multiple islands and create complex trade routes across the Caribbean, covering the ever-growing needs of the respective cities. Make use of the detailed sea map to avoid stormy weather regions, cliffs or shallow waters. Fulfill tasks for your nation’s viceroy, earning more fame to unlock town buildings, ships and more. Conquer the cities of rival nations or hunt down their fleets with a letter of marque while also keeping a keen eye out for pirates and other privateers.

For the first time in the series, naval battles will be turn-based, with up to 8 ships battling at one time and tactical captain maneuvers that can turn the tide in even the most hopeless of situations for a glorious victory.

Port Royale 4 is available on Windows PC (via Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with a Nintendo Switch version coming 2021.
