Among the most eagerly awaited releases I covered last year, one that truly captured my attention was the upcoming Pirates Outlaws 2: Heritage. The original Pirates Outlaws was a stylish, swashbuckling roguelike deckbuilder that hit the scene when the genre was still relatively fresh. Now, its sequel is set to make waves with a Q3 release this year!
This seaquel takes you back to the vibrant world of New Elysia, where you embark on another thrilling journey across the ocean. Simply choose your character, select a class ability, and assemble your starting deck to begin your voyage!
In Pirates Outlaws 2, you have the flexibility to pick from multiple characters, each with seven class options, allowing you to customize your deck to your playstyle. You can even recruit an animal companion to enhance the strategic depth of your battles. With enhanced turn-based combat and a new card evolution tree, you'll have an arsenal of tools to conquer the seas!
Run out the guns
Pirates Outlaws 2 promises to be a significantly expanded sequel, offering players the freedom to explore back and forth across the map with even more permutations and combinations of cards and characters. For PC gamers, an upcoming Steam demo will be your first chance to get hands-on with Pirates Outlaws 2!
My only concern arises from the animations shown in the reveal trailer, which appear somewhat static. While fully animating these illustrations is indeed challenging, I'm hopeful that the final release will feature more dynamic effects when it launches on mobile later this year.
To stay ahead of the curve, why not keep up with our regular weekly feature, Ahead of the Game? It's the perfect way to stay informed and excited about upcoming releases like Pirates Outlaws 2: Heritage.
