Aaaarrr matey! Prepare your cannons and watch your booty as Rovio Stars freemium real-time strategy game Plunder Pirates is now available for iOS (a full day early I might add). For those of you scoundrels in the USA that want to plunge your hook into it straight away you can download it now from the iTunes AppStore.
From game industry veterans Midoki and the rampant scallywags behind Angry Birds comes an addictive real-time strategy adventure like no other! Build a 3D island, recruit a pirate crew and set sail for uncharted waters.
The worldwide release comes on the heals of a large update (v1.3.0) that was available earlier today in the countries that participated in the soft launch. Plunder Pirates version 1.3.0 includes a number of additions that you won’t find mentioned in the US AppStore, including:
Pirate Hall Upgrade — Take your Pirate Hall to the next level with the new Pirate Hall
Extra Levels — With the new Pirate Hall come a whole raft of additional building upgrades
New Skills — Keep training up your troops with more skills unlocked in the Academy
Ground Pounder — The engineers have been busy and are proud to present a brand new heavy bombardment defense weapon
PlunderCam — See your island from a whole new perspective using the all new PlunderCam™
We Talk the Talk — Fully localized text for 11 different languages
Exploration Map Makeover — With new island graphics it’s looking better than ever
