In a freshly baked press release, Topware Interactive announced Raven’s Cry release date. The pirate-themed RPG adventure will be available on 7th May 2014 for PC (Windows & Mac), Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Tadeusz Zuber, Head of Reality Pump (the development studio behind the game) had the following to say:
The idea for Raven’s Cry gives us the opportunity to create our very own image of the Caribbean and piracy, far removed from all the family idylls. Christopher is tormented by his own demons and external threats – and our goal is to make these realistic enough to be actually ‘felt’ by the player. Christopher is a man trapped in the chains of his own demons – and the only way to break these chains, it seems, is the path of violence and revenge which he has chosen
Alexandra Constandache, CEO of Topware Interactive, added:
It was important for us to drive Christopher’s sinister story on in a way that would enthrall players – but to give them more role-playing elements at the same time. He will constantly develop his character, his ships and his crew throughout the game and adapt it to his own personal style, which is somewhere between “Bad Ass and Bad Guy
We had the opportunity to check Raven’s Cry a while ago and it looked very interesting in terms of mechanics, even though we weren’t able to watch some action since the combat system was not yet available for showing. Look forward to our preview soon.
