Disney closed Pirates of the Caribbean Online in 2013. New Horizons is a fan-made revival: the game as it was on its last day, with new story, new battles and new places to sail. It isn't open yet. Make your account now and you'll be ready when it is.
What New Horizons adds to the game you remember.
She rises from the sea with Davy Jones at the helm and the Kraken at her side. Bring a crew: the fight runs through ten phases and ends in a duel with Jones on your own deck. Beat him, and he swears to settle it another day.
Crew against crew at sea. Teams of two sail War Sloops, and teams of three or four take War Brigs: the Red Gull against the Blue Heron, under Spanish and French sails.
Sail there on your own ship, fight through the undead's ritual and face Capitan Ceniza. Your first victory each day earns a chest.
The new story arcs raise their enemies to your crew's level. Captains can also match a crew to its newest member, so friends of any level get a fair fight.
You can make your New Horizons account today. The game itself is coming soon, beginning with a closed alpha for testers with a key.
