Caribbean!, a swashbuckling action-RPG using the Mount & Blade engine, was a promising game developed by Russian developer Snowbird Games Studios with help from Mount & Blade developer TaleWorlds Entertainment itself. However, despite being in Steam Early Access, the game was rushed out the door back in February with many promised features left out.
Now, Snowbird has announced that a more feature complete version of the game, Blood & Gold: Caribbean!, will be arriving on 10 December 2015, and will be free to owners of the original Caribbean! game.
According to the developer, the following features have been added to Blood & Gold: native Caribbean troops, a playable female character, the ability to take a walk in town, an all new 3D global map, a multiplayer mode, a blackjack minigame, quests from governors, and new special missions, including assassination contracts, some of which require stealth approach,
The game will also feature new special locations including plantations, mines, monasteries, and the ruins of Aztec empire, as well as management of the player’s trading caravans, and a hub for managing player’s business and property. There will also be completely reworked land battle locations, updated fleet management, destructible fortifications during sieges, and a completely new prison escape system.
Snowblind warns that the original Caribbean! save files will be incompatible with Blood & Gold, but it’s worth starting anew with the upcoming version.
