A SHORT HISTORY OF THE REPUBLIC
‘Greed. It tears us all down eventually. Heck, that’s what this is all about. We rob, we plunder, we kill. All for a bit more wealth and another day of freedom. But we all know the truth. There’s only one way out of this pirate life. And if it’s not at the end of a rope, it’s usually a shot in the back from the pistol of a crewmate.

The Republic of Pirates was meant to be different. But the greed got to them too. Turning on one another like that… Damn shame what they did to your old man. And now they’re carving up the archipelago between the three of their crews.

Lucky Jack Howell, and the self-proclaimed Raiders of the Caribbean. Scar, and his Gallows Men. And Matilda Barbero, leader of Los Guerreros. They had it all. Spanish gold by the galleon and a nice slice of the Caribbean to call home. They couldn’t play nice, could they? Well, if it’s revenge you want, I’m with you. I owe your old man that much. We’re one ship against three fleets, but they aren’t expecting us.

We’ll make for the archipelago and set up on an isolated island before they get wind of our intentions. Revenge for your father and the chance to build something better’.

– John Artley

‘Republic of Pirates’ is coming to Steam and Epic Games Store on June 19th, 2024!
