TopWare Interactive and Two Worlds creator Reality Pump announce that their RPG adventure Raven’s Cry will be releasing in early May of next year, featuring a Caribbean ”far removed from the postcards”.
The studio has released some new images of the game, which is all about ”betrayal, greed and brutality.” Raven’s Cry boasts an open free-roam on the high seas with a crew to captain.
The RPG elements come in the form of a ”complex game skill system and modifications for all the ships in the game,” along with reputations to play on.
”“The idea for Raven’s Cry gives us the opportunity to create our very own image of the Caribbean and piracy, far removed from all the family idylls. Christopher is tormented by his own demons and external threats – and our goal is to make these realistic enough to be actually ‘felt’ by the player.”
“Christopher is a man trapped in the chains of his own demons – and the only way to break these chains, it seems, is the path of violence and revenge which he has chosen.” said Tadeusz Zuber, head of the development team.
”It was important for us to drive Christopher’s sinister story on in a way that would enthrall players – but to give them more role-playing elements at the same time,” added Alexandra Constandache, CEO at TopWare.
”He will constantly develop his character, his ships and his crew throughout the game and adapt it to his own personal style, which is somewhere between “Bad Ass and Bad Guy.”
Raven’s Cry releases on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 May 7th, 2014.
