Pirates of the Caribbean is an epic adventure set against the backdrop of history. It is a world where the real coexists with the unreal and where the conflict between what is primal and what is civilized is raging out of control. It is stuck between these two conflicting worlds that we find the legendary pirate Captain Jack Sparrow and his cohorts, including Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. Each must ultimately strike a delicate balance between that which is rebellious and supernatural and that which is civilized and reasoned.
The embodiment of this struggle, of the chaotic freedom that is a pirate's life, comes through in these characters and will also be captured within the game. Pirates of the Caribbean Online will extend the world and its mythology by inviting players to step in and claim their own piece of the buccaneer lifestyle, to live the greatest pirate story ever told, and to create their own legend alongside the leading characters from the film franchise. To further explore the mythology and also get a glimpse at how these and other characters are brought to life in the game, check out Video Insider #4 and Developer Diary #2 & #3.
