German developer Deck 13 is gearing up to launch an English-language edition of Black Sails - The Ghost Ship, their adventure game that's already available in German. This will be launched on Steam some time this month, though they are not yet saying exactly when. Here's word:

Award-winning German game developers Deck 13 today announced the upcoming release of Black Sails-The Ghost Ship for PC on Steam. Previously released in Germany to critical and popular acclaim Black Sails-The Ghost Ship is a macabre and mysterious point-and-click adventure game best played with the lights turned down and the volume turned up. Black Sails-The Ghost Ship immerses players into a journey into the nightmarish depths of the human soul, blurring the lines between truth and fiction.

"With the resurgence in popularity of adventure games, we felt the time was right to bring Black Sails-The Ghost Ship to a North American audience,” said Jan Klose, Creative Director for Deck 13. “We're looking forward to giving Steam players the same chill-inducing thrills enjoyed by our German fans of the game."
