Disney Interactive Studios Announces Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned

While the Pirates of the Caribbean series has ended (for now), Disney Interactive Studios isn’t halting the development of new games using the trademark. This time, it is a new action role-playing game called Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned.

Armada of the Damned will bring a whole new experience to the Pirates of the Caribbean gaming experience, with events in the game taking place after that of the last movie. Players will assume the role of a pirate, and embark on EPIC land and sea adventures.

“Armada of the Damned is a dynamic action role-playing game that captures all of the franchise’s excitement, unpredictability and action while delving into narrative elements never before explored within this unique universe,” said Dan Tudge, vice president and general manager, Propaganda Games. “Our team’s collective experience with industry-leading RPGs and action titles provides a strong foundation for us to create and build a compelling action role-playing title.”

Armada of the Damned is scheduled to be released in autumn 2010 for next-generation consoles and Windows PC.
