Disney Online is developing a new massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on the popular franchise “Pirates of the Caribbean.” The game is slated to debut in summer 2006, coinciding with the release of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.”
The game is being designed as a world of high seas action and adventure where players will personalize their own pirate character and organize with other players to form a pirate crew. Players will then embark on swashbuckling missions to battle both each other and the evil pirates of the high seas in an effort to become the Caribbean’s most legendary pirate.
Access to the game will be available directly online and players will pay a subscription fee for the service. An information site for the game has been launched at www.pirateslegend.com offering a registration service to sign up to receive future game updates and launch information.
