News - Pirates of New Horizons Game

Pirates of New Horizons

Exit Strategy Entertainment | TBD

Pirates Of New Horizons puts a unique twist on the pirates theme and lets players experience the sweet trade like no other game has done before: we took elements from two different worlds (colonial times and science-fiction) to create an original universe that players can explore through the eyes of the pirate girl "Annha". Equipped with a unique inventory of gadgets and acrobatic skills players need to face dangerous aliens, giant robots and tricky puzzles that guard the treasures of New Horizons.
