Plunder Pirates: Take to the High Seas, Become the Most Notorious Pirate Captain
As part of the Rovio Stars publishing initiative, Rovio will roll out Midoki’s online multiplayer free-for-all Plunder Pirates game come the 18th of September (one day after Apple rolls out the iOS 8 mobile operation system to the public).
This pirate-themed game tasks you with becoming the most formidable pirate in the world – take to the high seas as a cut-throat buccaneer and become the most notorious pirate captain that ever sailed the seven seas! You will have to build your own pirate island, recruit a crew of fearless pirates, unearth hidden treasure, and battle rival pirate captains.
Rovio Stars is Rovio Entertainment’s mobile game publishing initiative. It can be quickly described like this: Rovio finds interesting games created by talented developers and presents said games to a large audience. Since Rovio is a big name in the industry, when it publishes a game, people take interest.
So far, several games have been published as part of the Rovio Stars initiative:
