A new Raven's Cry Website is live as a home to this recently revealed open-world third-person action/adventure in the works at Octane Games. The site offers some artwork and a "mature" rated trailer. Here's word on the game:

TopWare Interactive and Octane Games will be releasing a game that finally doesn’t paint pirates as the funny and playful ones we have to come to accept in pop-culture, but rather the ruthless and blood thirsty portrayal of historical relevance. With the announcement of the release of TopWare’s next big title, Raven’s Cry, even real pirate fans will be shaking in their buckled boots.

This 17th century Caribbean adventure will not be starring a quirky, yet devilishly handsome and incredibly famous actor portraying the pirate life, but a man who fights with his own demons and morals, with only the memory of his butchered family to propel him into his destiny among the harsh seas. This story driven adventure title will give the player ultimate control over the anti-hero Christopher Raven, as he plunders and mutilates his way to the truth behind his families murders.

Raven’s Cry will offer players three different styles of gameplay, from 3rdperson adventure, to helming a full-fledged pirate ship into battle, or navigating your way through the harsh waters on the world map. With an open world at the player’s finger tips, Raven’s Cry will raise the bar for all pirate and sandbox games alike, without leaving out the gory reality of a pirate tale.
