Captain Blood is now available for PC and consoles, and the Windows and macOS edition of this seafaring action game is on the Epic Games Store, GOG.com,* and Steam with a 10% launch discount. This will take players to the Spanish Main of the 17th century to engage in some of the piracy for which the setting is so famous. Traveling the seas by sail is time-consuming, but this news still reflects an extremely long voyage. The game's first mention here was 21 years ago when 1C Company put a product page online, and in 2006 it was delayed until 2007. Somewhere along the way its title became Age of Pirates: Captain Blood, but this has reverted back to just Captain Blood. By 2010, the big news was a new website, which is now only suited to those desperate to find a Filipino Casino. Wikipedia says the project was abandoned somewhere along the way due to legal issues, and at some point it was declared "vaporware." But Captain Blood must have lawyered up at some point, because here he is. 1C Company is out of the picture, and this is developed by Seawolf Studio & General Arcade and published by SNEG. It carries a 10% launch discount, and there's a playable demo on GOG.com and Steam. Here's the Launch Trailer and here are some details:
