Raven's Cry gives you realistic adventure on the high seas
Tires of obnoxious, mincing pirates in heavy eye shadow? Are you wanting a little more from your swashbuckling adventures than convoluted plots and slapstick gags? So are Topware Interactive and Octane Games, who are delivering a pirate game called Raven's Cry--a pirate game all about the brutal life of a corsair in 17th century Caribbean. Despite what you might have been led to believe from certain films, being a pirate was a pretty bloodthirsty and unforgiving existence, and Raven's Cry will try to portray this with plenty of white knuckle sword fighting, ship-to-ship combat or navigating the cruel stormy seas.
For someone who's sick to death of Pirates of the Caribbean this is a welcome announcement. I just hope the game lives up to the press release, but we should be seeing some of it during E3 so stay tuned.
Raven’s Cry™: A pirate world without censorship
TopWare and Octane Games, giving pirates the respect they deserve!
TopWare Interactive and Octane Games will be releasing a game that finally doesn’t paint pirates as the funny and playful ones we have to come to accept in pop-culture, but rather the ruthless and blood thirsty portrayal of historical relevance. With the announcement of the release of TopWare’s next big title, Raven’s Cry, even real pirate fans will be shaking in their buckled boots.
The 17th century Caribbean unfortunately will not be starring a quirky, yet devilishly handsome and incredibly famous actor portraying the pirate life, but a man who fights with his own demons and morals, with only the memory of his butchered family to propel him into his destiny among the seas.
Raven’s Cry will offer players three different styles of gameplay, from 3rd person hack n’ slash, to helming a full-fledged pirate ship into battle, or navigating your way through the harsh waters on the world map.
TopWare will be showcasing this title at this year’s E3 and are proud to announce that it will hit shelves Q2 of 2012!
