About the Game

Witness the rise of piracy in this prologue to Buccaneers!, a classic pirate RPG. Command and customise a powerful warship and take part in tense naval and land battles that will put your swashbuckling skills to the test. Investigate the emergence of a new pirate faction that threatens to upset the balance of power in the Caribbean.



Experience naval warfare in first-person as you take the helm of a mighty sailing warship.
Customise your ship with new paint schemes, cannons and upgrades to tailor it to your playstyle. Whether you prefer bombarding your foes at range, closing in to board or anything in between, you can kit out your ship however you please.





Whether you’re boarding a ship or assaulting a fort, you have a wide variety of melee and ranged weapons at your disposal. Equip up to five weapons from swords and pistols to muskets and blunderbusses and switch weapons on-the-fly to deal with any situation.


Buccaneers! The New Age of Piracy is fully-playable in VR as well as standard mode, with shared game saves between both modes. In VR, your full-scale warship is brought to life as you steer it by hand and use any combination of melee and ranged weapons to slay your foes however you want.


Continue your journey in the full game with much more to explore:
  • Join one of four factions with unique abilities.
  • Build a fleet of formidable ships to take on any foe.
  • Conquer the Caribbean and change the course of history.
  • Find legendary treasures including weapons, upgrades and more.
