[h1]Hoist the Jolly Roger! Tortuga - A Pirate’s Tale Hits the Shores of Steam [/h1] Ahoy mateys! Fresh off the heels of its one-year anniversary, [b]Tortuga – A Pirate’s Tale will hit the shores of Steam on February 13[/b]. Dig up buried treasure and chart a course for the Caribbean Sea, because Tortuga - A Pirate’s Tale is coming soon to Steam for the plundering enjoyment of all seafaring PC buccaneers. Send those who stand in your way to Davy Jones’ Locker and build a stash of stolen booty in tactical turn-based naval battles. More than 25 hours of swashbuckling adventures await those brave (or foolish) enough to pillage Gold from the fat pockets of the Spanish, Dutch, French, and English colonies during the Golden Age of Piracy. Embark on a treacherous journey in one of 18 customizable and historical pirate ships, each with distinct features and over 360 unique loadouts to upgrade the crew and fleet into the ultimate terror of the high seas. Ensure victory against unsuspecting enemies by upgrading skills through earned experience and notoriety. Conquer the open seas and hone your power to be as sharp as your cutlass, and parley with some of history's most infamous pirates. But beware – being a pirate isn’t always Gold, glory, and rum. Tempers run hot on a ship with a galleon full of exploited pirates; fairly share the spoils of conquest with your ragtag crew of scallywags to maintain peace and avoid the fatal work conditions brought about by mutiny. Climb aboard and set sail in Tortuga – A Pirate’s Tale, arriving on Steam February 13.
