While big blockbuster games like Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Call of Duty pull in huge audience numbers, there are games that quietly ramp up the player numbers without entering the global consciousness. That’s definitely the case for Pirates Outlaws, a game which racked up an astounding 3 million downloads, while accruing over 30,000 positive reviews on Android. Fans will be happy to find that not only will the sequel, Pirate Outlaws 2: Heritage, be sailing to iOS, Android and PC later in 2025, but they can already test out its roguelike deckbuilding charms via the brand new demo that’s just dropped on Steam.
Pirates Outlaws 2: Heritage is a swashbuckling roguelike deckbuilder. Collect & fuse cards, gather powerful relics and adapt your strategy during each run. Become a reputed pirate, loot the Sea Masters, challenge giant creatures and triumph in the great Arena! In this sequel to Pirates Outlaws, a new era begins at New Elysia. Enter your mansion, pick a character, class ability and starting deck, and embark on a daring expedition!
Every character has several classes, and each one comes with a pre-made starter deck and one unique ability card. At the Alchemy shop, drinking elixirs alters each hero’s abilities, pre-made deck, and appearance. Also new is that you can recruit an animal companion and add their unique cards to your starter deck. It’s your job to discover the many possible strategies created by this combination!
The team describe the game’s key features as being:
- Combine Heroes, Classes and Companions – Each hero has multiple unique cards and abilities that can be combined with companion cards.
- Customise your deck – Improve your deck along the way and try to build overpowered strategies
- Enhanced turn-based combat – Each card you play affects a “countdown” towards the enemy’s actions.
- Freely explore the map – Navigate between battles, revisit islands, stop by taverns, or trade at markets. Enjoy more freedom than ever before!
- New card evolution tree – Collect three identical cards to level them up and choose how they evolve, adding new layers of strategy to your deck
- Find relics that provide powerful outfit bonuses – When you complete an outfit, you receive its associated bonus.
Pirate Outlaws 2: Heritage will release in Q3 2025, for iOS, Android and PC.
