Those who have been keeping up with this game know this moment has been a long time coming. Originally released in 2022, development went quiet for two years until an Alpha Test in January.

The cast for the film includes the following:

The announcement follows recent sightings of the filming location in a UK park, where fans were able to see a recreation of Limgrave and a Church of Marika, including the statue within. Along with the release date, the actors and actresses in the film have now been confirmed.

I jokingly complained to James, “Why are so many games suddenly about pirates?” He didn’t even notice, as he was busy writing about the new pirate game, Corsair Cove. Even his parrot seemed to be making fun of me with a pirate-themed pun! Feeling defeated, I went to find some peace, but was immediately overwhelmed by the sounds of another pirate game, Windrose.
