It looks like a real romp of a game, a pirate brawler with sarcastic vibes. You can imagine the couch co-op fun ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the year, rumors trickle their way down to you that Captain Blood is being delayed by a huge redevelopment effort, and it\u2019s going to be some time before release. Oh well, there is no shortage of other new games to dig into so you put your pirate hat back in the cupboard and wait.<\/p>\n<p>Further rumors percolate and the game is apparently ready for release in 2009 \u2013 five years is quite a long time of course, but not unheard of as a lead time for video games.

Twenty full years after the initial announcement of Age of Pirates: Captain Blood, more than a decade since it seemed like the game was dead and buried. It has been years since anyone even thought about it. And then, in comes Seawolf Studio with the re-release trailer.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"Captain Blood - Official Re-Reveal Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zMV3r7RPilw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like a time capsule was dug up and inside, perfectly preserved, was a pirate game from the 2000s, complete with fourth-wall-breaking narration.<\/p>\n<h2>When will Captain Blood be released?<\/h2>\n<p>If the new trailer can be believed \u2013 there\u2019s still some skepticism, naturally \u2013 we can expect to see <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3040220\/Captain_Blood\/\">Captain Blood<\/a> finally released to consumers in the fall of 2024.
