First Look: Pirates of the Burning Sea

Flying Lab Software gives a new meaning to computer piracy with this intriguingly realistic high-seas MMORPG.

The high seas have been shaky ground for games lately, but signs point to a pirate comeback. Flying Lab Software?s Pirates of the Burning Sea promises an evolving ship-based adventure that ought to give desk-chair ship cap?ns a little buckle to swash.

Similar in many ways to EA?s Earth & Beyond, Burning Sea will set you up with a ship and a crew, and let you do the rest. While most players will no doubt be pirates, you?ll also be able to play as a simple merchant or join the Navy and fight against the rising pirate tide. Set in the 18th Century, the game will place you at America?s doorstep to forge your own destiny.

Flying Lab will publish the game itself, thanks to Valve?s Steam online distribution system, and it has already planned several big updates, including the addition of avatars and land-based adventures.
