Kingsisle Entertainment's Pirate101 is celebrating its upcoming 11th anniversary, dropping a new update to the long-running MMO.
Pirate101's 11th anniversary is on October 15th, and the team is gearing up to celebrate by dropping its next major update to the MMO. Sinbad Chapter 3: Wheels Within Wheels brings new story, returning characters, and much more to the pirate-themed MMO.
Sinbad Chapter 3 brings back the progression of the storyline in Pirate101, with the team triumphantly exclaiming «We're Back!» on both recent livestreams and today's update blog post.
«Sinbad Chapter 3 hosts the return of some old friends, and the progression of the main storyline. Those familiar with the residents of Bakers Street will recognize a familiar villain. As we’ve mentioned in multiple livestreams now: We’re BACK! The main storyline is continuing, and Pirates can expect to see multiple major updates next year. Quick, go talk to Mr. Gandry for the quest!You'll be fighting for information, facing the consequences of your worldwide diplomatic subterfuge, seeing old friends, and playing mind games with the enemy of a famous Barker Street resident.»
The new update also brings new weapons, which the team at Kingsisle describes as some of the «trashiest» in the MMO. Basically, they aren't wrong — it's made from literal trash. Not like trash loot. Actual trash. Think Oscar the Grouch donning the trashcan he uses as a home trash.
Kingsisle was at PAX West last month talking about their two franchises, Wizard101 and Pirate101, and during our chat they mentioned how they are planning to ensure people understand that the MMOs have grown with their audience and they are much more than simply «kids games.» Check out our interview with the team here.
