More expansion news comes courtesy of Sony Online Entertainment who announced that Pirates of the South China Seas, the fourth expansion for the Pirates Constructible Strategy Game, is currently in development and is scheduled for release next month.

Western fleets are sailing the treasure-rich waters of the South China Seas and a new faction, the Jade Rebellion, has arisen to thwart the advances of imperialist navies. The Jade Rebellion employs two new types of ships - massive six-masted junks and the sturdy and resilient Korean “Turtle” ship. This new faction also introduces some new characters into player fleets; the inscrutable Ms. Cheng, the head of the pirate confederation and widow of the famous pirate warlord Cheng Yi. The Jade Rebellion also features her closest ally, the pirate Chang Pao; together, they’ve defeated every expedition sent out to destroy the Jade Rebellion.

SOE Denver is giving away a special promotional ship in anticipation of the expansion’s release. Those who buy 10 Pirates CSG Online digital game packs will receive the Baochuan, a massive 10-masted Chinese treasure ship. Its size allows players to fit more crew members, features four more cannons than normal ships, and more. More information can be found on this page.
