Capcom Set to Plunder Xbox Live, PSN
Giving an apt title to an apt game, Capcom today announced Plunder, a multiplayer game that puts players in command of a pirate ship, for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC. In development at Certain Affinity, the game has players destroying enemies and capturing towns for a pirate faction.
“With Certain Affinity at the helm, Plunder has the makings to be an instant classic for the downloadable games market,” said Nique Fajors, Vice President of Marketing at Capcom Entertainment. “Plunder will engross players with its intuitive online multiplayer gameplay, captivating replayablity, and a planned price point that will be lower than most MMO’s monthly dues.”
Certain Affinity is composed of people who have worked on the Halo series of games, especially the games’ multiplayer parts. Plunder takes their expertise, letting up to eight players go at it online in 25 multiplayer maps, which can also be created and shared with friends.
Plunder is slated for release this Summer.
