Releasing these new screenshots and a new trailer, Sony Online Entertainment today announced the availability of Pirates of the Burning Sea. Set in the Caribbean during the 1720s, Pirates of the Burning Sea offers a variety of fighting styles to suit anyone's taste. Players can choose between three basic schools of fighting: the classic scoundrel's dirty tricks, the formal yet deadly art of fencing, or the wild-eyed, free-wheeling use of small swords and daggers. Through the use of an innovative balance-based attack system, players gain advantage based on position and initiative. Avoiding the typical fire-and-forget MMORPG combat systems, swashbuckling in Pirates of the Burning Sea puts the control in the player's hands. Much like our celebrated ship combat system, swashbuckling provides opportunities for even the newest player to prevail in battle, allowing cunning and tactics to take a front seat to character level and experience. Check the press release for more details.
