First Look: LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean
Disney Interactive Studios and Traveller's Tales Games today announced LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game for the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PSP, DS, and Windows PC, scheduled for simultaneous release with the new film “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” in May 2011.
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game will be based in the world of the film franchise, incorporating storylines, locations and characters from the first three films as well as the upcoming "On Stranger Tides."
As the previous LEGO titles players can take on the roles of more than 70 characters across more than 20 levels in single-player or two-player cooperative mode, in either Story mode or Freeplay mode, which lets players return to levels to discover new items. That trademark diagonal split-screen, drop-in-drop-out co-op multiplayer remains intact, but there'll be no online co-op.
Graham Hopper, the EVP and GM of Disney Interactive Studios, spoke about the video game, saying:
Pirates of the Caribbean is a globally successful franchise based in action, adventure and humor perfectly suited for a LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game adaptation. Combining the excitement of playing as Jack Sparrow and other recognizable characters from the franchise will make the game fun for players of all ages throughout the world.
