Among the most eagerly awaited releases from last year, one that captured my attention was the upcoming Pirates Outlaws 2: Heritage. The original Pirates Outlaws was a stylish, swashbuckling roguelike deckbuilder that burst onto the scene when the genre was still fresh and exciting. Now, its sequel is set to launch in Q3 of this year!

This seaquel takes you back to New Elysia, where you embark on another thrilling journey across the ocean waves. Choose your character, select a class ability, and pick your starting deck to begin your voyage!

In Pirates Outlaws 2, you have the option to choose from multiple characters, each with seven class options. You can customize your deck and even recruit an animal companion to enhance the strategic depth of your battles. With improved turn-based combat and a new card evolution tree, you'll have an array of tools to conquer the high seas!

Pirates Outlaws 2 promises to be a significantly expanded sequel, allowing you to explore back and forth across the map and offering even more permutations and combinations of cards and characters. For those on PC, an upcoming Steam demo will be your first chance to get your hands on Pirates Outlaws 2!

My only concern stems from the animations shown in the reveal trailer, which seem a bit static. While fully animating these illustrations is challenging, I'm hopeful that the final release will feature more dynamic effects when it hits mobile later this year.
