Press release:
Austin, Texas – May 31, 2023.
The Austin-based (Texas, the US) indie games developer KingsIsle Entertainment today announced with great thrill and joy that their pirate-themed turn-based tactics MMORPG “Pirate101“, is now available for PC via Steam.

Furthermore, KingsIsle Entertainment have also just announced the release of new key art and a fresh trailer welcoming new players to the game.

In addition to launching on Steam, Pirate101 has also received a new content update titled Sinbad Chapter 2: The Iron Lotus that extends the Sinbad story that began last year and adds two new companions, Sinbad and Albano, to help you along your skyway adventures.

Pirates will also be pitted against an overpowered Dreadnaught, a commandeered armada assault ship. For any daring Pirates, don’t underestimate the power of this ship! If players are brave enough, the rewards for defeating the Dreadnaught include mighty new weapons to use in future battles.

“We’ve been eager to get Pirate101 on Steam for a long time now after seeing the success being on Steam brought to Wizard101 since 2018,” said Leah Ruben, Senior Studio Director.

“Steam also provides new ways to connect with the community via the Community Hub. We’re excited to see the community already using the hub forums to discuss their anticipation of playing the game.”

The community has also been providing valuable feedback and ideas for a variety of quality-of-life features. By popular demand, KingsIsle is happy to introduce Windowed Borderless Mode to support content creators and all their endeavors in the future.
