February Is Looking Like a Big Month for Pirates on PS5, PS4

Many of you will have circled 21st February in your calendar, because that’s when Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii sails to PS5 and PS4. But it’s looking like a big month for nautical adventure on Sony’s new-gen system, because roguelite strategy Rogue Waters has also placed a big red X on a 4th February release date.

For those not familiar with this game, here’s the overview from Tripwire: “Gather your ragtag crew of rogues and grow them into fierce pirates. Befriend and call upon legendary creatures of sailors’ myths. Chart your course through an ever-changing game world, and turn the tides of battle on land or sea in a fresh take on tactical turn-based combat. The crew and the Kraken await your command – will ye heed the call?”

So, a very different type of pirate experience to the upcoming Like a Dragon, then – but that means both games should complement each other nicely. There’s a trailer embedded above which should give you a better taste for Rogue Waters’ gameplay loop, but is this looking like a sink or swim experience for you?
