Among the most eagerly awaited releases I discussed last year, one standout is certainly the upcoming Pirates Outlaws 2: Heritage. The original Pirates Outlaws captured hearts as a stylish, swashbuckling roguelike deckbuilder when the genre was still emerging. Now, its sequel is set to launch in Q3 of this year, promising to elevate the high-seas adventure to new heights.
This "seaquel" brings you back to the vibrant world of New Elysia, embarking on another thrilling voyage across the ocean waves. Start your journey by choosing a character, a class ability, and a starting deck, and set sail for adventure!
Pirates Outlaws 2 introduces a roster of characters, each with seven distinct class options, allowing for deep customization of your deck. You can also recruit an animal companion to enhance the strategic complexity of your battles. With upgraded turn-based combat and the introduction of a new card evolution tree, you'll have a formidable arsenal to dominate the seas!
Run out the gunsPirates Outlaws 2 is poised to be a significantly expanded sequel, offering expansive exploration across the map and a wealth of card and character combinations. PC gamers, mark your calendars for the upcoming Steam demo, your first opportunity to get hands-on with Pirates Outlaws 2!
However, one aspect that caught my attention was the animations in the reveal trailer, which appeared somewhat static to me. While fully animating the detailed illustrations can be challenging, I'm hopeful that the final release will include more dynamic effects when it launches on mobile later this year.
