New Content Launched for Pirates of the
Caribbean Online
Disney Online has added Ghost Ships to Pirates of
the Caribbean Online. Nightmarish forces of evil and danger, players must keep
their eyes out for these ill-fated vessels that are sure to challenge skills and
nerves. The undead sailors are doomed to skulk around the waters of Isla
Cangrejos and Cutthroat Island in their ominous ships – Shadow Crow, Cerberus,
and Blood Scourge. Battle-hardened sailors with nothing to loose, these
dastardly creatures can be fought off, but they are no easy prey!
Disney Online has also launched a special
Father’s Day Event. Captain Teague, the notorious pirate reputed to be Captain
Jack Sparrow’s father, has gone missing. In honor of Father’s Day, Disney Online
is asking that players help find Captain Teague – not an easy task, but it may
make you a legend.
Lastly, Disney Online will launch a new
screenshot contest called “The Ultimate Ship Battle.” From June 2nd until June
17th, players can submit their best Ship Battle screenshots at
www.PiratesOnline.com.
Ten lucky winners will receive an iPod Touch.
Disney Online has additional content planned for
2008 including the addition of ship Privateer battles. Players will have to
choose a faction wisely – Garcia de Avaracia or Pierre le Porc. Two new small
islands in the backwaters of the Caribbean are the setting for what will surely
be a showdown between players and their rivaling crews.
Pirates of the Caribbean Online, developed and
published by Disney Online, is rated E10+ and features lower PC and Mac system
requirements than most other games in this genre, allowing for easier access to
a broader audience of players. Players can download the game directly and access
additional information at
www.PiratesOnline.com.
