Sorry, we couldn't resist the headline opportunity there. To be clear: King of Seas is a top-down action RPG set within a procedurally generated world of pirates.
You set sail on the open waters and explore the sea, collect treasure, trade with other ships, and of course, engage in battle. But it's not all aimless bobbing about; a story full of quests will give you objectives to aim for as you "fight to regain what has been taken away", meeting lots of "intriguing" characters. Interestingly, the game's world reacts to your actions. Naval routes change over time, and the difficulty keeps up with you as you conquer more settlements.
You'll also be pleased to know you can fully customise your ship. There are five types of vessel available that you can slowly make your own as you acquire equipment and skills. As for the combat, it looks to be somewhat strategic; there are over 20 skills to choose from and talent trees to fill in, so there's plenty to explore there.
King of Seas sets sail for PlayStation 4 on 25th May, and will set you back $24.99 / £24.99 / €24.99. Will you be living the pirate life on PS4 next month? Walk the gangplank to the comments section below.

Kinda reminds me of the game Overboard on PS1.
Only here to congratulate you on the joke in the heading, top work
Looks like and updated Sid mears: Pirates and that can never be a bad thing
I'd love a good single player pirate game. Will keep an eye on this one.
Used to love Pirates! back in the day. So will keep an eye on this. Pirates! had those small bits of land action (fighting and dancing, if I remember rightly), which did a great job of mixing things up to keep it interesting.
@fR_eeBritney Absolutely this. Getting lots of Overboard! vibes from it.
Are you proud of yourselves for that one? I bet you are proud of yourselves for that one.
On the one hand, the look doesn’t grab me. On the other hand: Pirates.
So I will probably give this a try at some point. Or just play Black Flag again.
@PegasusActual93 As they should be
I would have thought less of you had you not made that headline choice. Much respect.
Trailer was pretty underwhelming, but I love pirate stories so will look out for reviews.
Remind me of sir meier's pirate on pc way back then 😃
This looks cool!
I tried playing Sea of Thieves but that game is so NOT beginner friendly that I quit right after 15 min...so maybe this will scratch the pirate itch that Black Flag left me with
Looks pretty good. Was hoping it was more like Sid Meier's Pirates.
What will we do with a drunken sailor?

@NoCode23 that will forever be “that one spongebob song”. It always made me smile when my crew would sing that in black flag.
