Paradox Reveals East India Company: Privateer

Paradox Interactive today announced the new expansion for the hit naval strategy title East India Company. East India Company: Privateer introduces players to a dark and mysterious world of salty seafarers with allegiances only to fortune and a thirst for destruction.

For a preview of what players can expect from playing as a privateer, Paradox Interactive has released an ominous trailer, exposing the chaos these sailors of questionable character introduce to the world of East India Company.

Watch the Gamescom trailer below.

When playing Privateer, you can hire two distinct types of commanders for your fleets: merchant captains and privateers. You’ll be contracted by the crown or other powers for different missions, ranging from smuggling and escorting friendly fleets to locating, capturing or sinking important ships from enemy nations. Also included in East India Company: Privateer is a brand new multiplayer scenario entitled “Breakthrough.” In Breakthrough, one team will attempt to escort their flagship to safety while the other team tries to destroy the enemy ship.

East India Company: Privateer Features:

• Two new campaigns in which you play the game as a privateer of your chosen nation.
• New missions, including locating and either sinking or capturing enemy ships, blockading enemy ports and escorting friendly fleets.
• New commander skills to fit the life of a privateer, such as ‘False Colors’, which allow the player to get close to the victim without them perceiving a threat, and ‘Critical Hit’, which gives the player a chance to hit an enemy ship’s magazine, causing the enemy ship to explode.
