“We are excited to add Puzzle Pirates to Ubisoft’s growing list of massively multiplayer online (MMO) games,” said James Regan, director of Ubisoft’s business development. “Puzzle Pirates is unique in the MMO genre, because players can enjoy non-violent puzzle games while increasing their pirate character’s skills and prestige in a user-friendly community.”
In the game, players pillage the seven seas with their mates and enjoy countless rounds of eleven fine puzzles, from Swordfighting to Carpentry, Gunnery, a variety of trade puzzles, and even a friendly game of Spades. Puzzle Pirates is a social game in which players sail together in crews and form political alliances to rule the waves. Shop ownership, trade networks, full player-colonized islands and a dense web of Piratey intrigue fill out the higher level gameplay; for those who master the puzzling:
- Build a pirate empire: Players form their own crews to pillage the high seas, trade between islands and even develop their own thriving ports.
- Participate in the player-run economy: Players buy and run shops, trade for goods and employ the puzzling skills of their friends. All finished items in the game are made in player shops.
- Man the crow’s nest! Be on the look out for new updates to the game.
- Make a piratey fashion statement: Fulfill your dreams of dashing pirate flair with a great selection of swashbuckling outfits. Pirates Arr Cool!
