Corsairs: Battle of the Caribbean is coming to Windows PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store) sometime later in 2024, with an Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PS5 release sometime later.

The previously announced Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions weren’t mentioned in today’s news leading us to believe they’ve been cancelled – we’ve reached out to Microids for clarification.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a teaser trailer:

You’ll take on the role of a privateer, serving your chosen nation to earn fame and wealth. You’ll navigate treacherous seas, build a powerful fleet, and wage epic battles against enemy vessels.

Your journey will take you to the exotic islands of the Antilles, where you can discover hidden treasures, recruit new crew members, and fight for your nation’s supremacy in the Caribbean. Choose to represent one of the great maritime powers: French, Danish, Spanish, British, or Dutch.
