Port Royale 4 Announcement For 2020 With Trailer

The popular trade simulation in the Caribbean gets a new edition from Kalypso Media in 2020 with Port Royale 4.

At GamesCom 2019, Port Royale 4 was surprisingly announced with a new Port Royale 4 Announcement Trailer. Port Royale is an economic and shipping simulation in the Caribbean of the 17th century, which is in times of governors and pirates. It is a little related to the Caribbean ancient Pirates, except for the sword fights during ship conquests, because they did not exist in Port Royale at least in the first 3 parts. There are also playful similarities with Hanse, Rise of Venice or Patrician. Here comes another candidate for the list of the best strategy games 2020.

What kind of game is Port Royale?

Short overview Port Royale 1-3:
In Port Royale, one starts as governor of one of the 4 colonial powers Holland, France, Spain or England. They produce goods on plantations and trade with a large number of goods, whereby certain goods can only be found in certain ports.

We can expand port cities, do diplomacy and trade with the three other colonial powers, or go to war with these 3 opposing forces as well as with the pirates of the region. The goal of the game is to become the richest and largest trading power in the Caribbean.

What’s new in Port Royale 4?

The new part of the series will be developed by Gaming Minds Studios, which have recently delivered a very strong economic simulation with Railway Empire, but also with the predecessors Port Royale, Patrician 4 and Rise of Venice bring a lot of experience in this area. A very experienced team works here and builds this classic from scratch. The overall high quality of Railway Empires gives hope for a really great and improved fourth part.

4 single-player campaigns

In the feature list are many interesting things, so the game brings 4 complete single-player campaigns, for each of the 4 colonial powers it’s own. A total of 60 cities are simulated on the Caribbean islands and we can expand these cities with more than 50 buildings, of which 25 are different production sites. Besides rum, coffee, cocoa many other goods can be produced and traded. Many of them are also necessary for the cities to develop further.

Turn-based naval battles

The sea battles will be turn-based, so much more strategy and planning than just hectic clicking around. With 18 different ships, we’ll be able to defend our lands and goods against enemy colonial masters and pirates, and of course, strategically attack. Captains and ship equipment must be procured and improved so that our fleet can emerge victorious from battle.
