Port Royale 3: Pirates & Merchants

The campaign in Port Royale 3 effectively splits into two routes and gives the player a choice between playing as a tightfisted trader or a swashbucklin' adventurer out for plunder. The free-play mode returns, giving players more of a sandbox experience with promises that "Naval battles, coastal city sieges, raids and plunder" are featured. Port Royale 3 will feature a multiplayer mode, which Kalypso claims "will pit players head-to-head using commercial, economic and conquest simulations to allow for fast-paced gameplay."

Features of Port Royale 3

• Two different single player campaigns: that of the dealer and the adventurer.
• Thrilling sea battles, coastal city-sieges, raids and looting await the adventurous player to wait while immense wealth and power to commercially oriented players.
