Among the most eagerly awaited releases I covered last year, one that stands out is the upcoming Pirates Outlaws 2: Heritage. The original Pirates Outlaws captivated players with its stylish, swashbuckling roguelike deckbuilder gameplay when the genre was still fresh. Now, its sequel is set to launch in Q3 of this year, and it promises to elevate the experience to new heights.
This sequel, affectionately dubbed a "seaquel," returns you to the enchanting world of New Elysia, where you'll embark on another thrilling journey across the ocean waves. Begin your voyage by selecting a character, class ability, and a starting deck, and set sail into adventure!
Pirates Outlaws 2 offers a rich array of choices, with multiple characters and seven class options each. You can customize your deck and even recruit an animal companion, adding strategic depth to your battles. The game introduces enhanced turn-based combat and a new card evolution tree, equipping you with a formidable arsenal to conquer the seas!
Run out the gunsPirates Outlaws 2 promises to be a significantly expanded sequel, allowing you to explore back and forth across the map with an array of new card and character combinations. For those on PC, an upcoming Steam demo will be your first chance to get your hands on Pirates Outlaws 2 and experience the thrill firsthand!
While the animations in the reveal trailer seemed a bit static to me, I'm hopeful that the final release will feature more dynamic effects, enhancing the visual appeal when it hits mobile later this year.
