Kalypso Media is inviting gamers to take to the high seas for an exciting journey of discovery, trading and piracy with the announcement of Port Royale 3, the next in the series of hugely successful economic simulation games. Port Royale 3 will take players on a grand adventure where they can play as a heroic captain, villainous brigand or savvy merchantman. The game is currently in development by Kalypso Media’s own internal studio, Gaming Minds, and is scheduled for release in Q2 2012 for Windows PC and next generation consoles.

In Port Royale 3, players will embark upon an epic adventure through the Caribbean during the turbulent 17th century where the naval powers of Spain, England, France and the Netherlands all fight for supremacy in the colonies. Players take on the role of a young captain trying to build his fortune and reputation in the new world colonies. The campaign consists of two different paths for the young protagonist to follow: adventurer and trader.
