Golden Hind Games and Toplitz Productions announce a name change for their upcoming pirate-themed title, shedding its original label “Pirate’s Dynasty.” The game is now sailing under the flag of Pirates Republic, set for an Early Access launch in 2024.
Why the Change, Cap’n?
The developers wanted to pay tribute to New Providence, a location known as the “Republic of Pirates” in the early 18th century. The name change reflects not just the historical backdrop but also an evolved gameplay focus since its first announcement in 2022.
Word from the Helm
Darek Skrzypkowski, the captain steering Golden Hind Games, said, “We started as a pirate adventure under the Dynasty franchise, but the winds took us in a different direction. We figured out that living the pirate life in the Caribbean isn’t exactly family-friendly.”
Robin Gibbels from Toplitz Productions added, “While the name’s changed, our goal remains. We aim to offer a genre mix in an open world that can be enjoyed solo or with friends. You won’t build a dynasty, but you’ll definitely leave your mark on history.”
