A new swashbuckling lifestyle will soon be available as The Rise of Captain Longbeard is announced, which is a virtual reality experience for HTC Vive.

Full 360 degree pirating is being dangled in front of hungry VR gamers as we captain a ship as the legendary Longbeard, who will be sailing, pillaging and fighting his way through the Caribbean.

“The Rise of Captain Longbeard promises to be the quintessential VR game experience,” said Jikhan Jung, CEO of Colopl NI.  “Complete immersion into a specific time and place in history, with the entire experience driven by a compelling narrative and an emotional connection to the main character.  All of this surrounds a variety of exciting in-game action and adventure that transports you back in time when pirates were lords of the seas.”

There will be four main islands and eight smaller satellites to explore in The Rise of Captain Longbeard, and that will be split across sailing the high sea and exploring on foot. The game will first come to Steam Early Access this winter before it eventually launches in full.

The Rise of Captain Longbeard is in development for PC.
