Disney today announced that Pirates of the Caribbean has been bumped back to this fall to give developers more time to enhance the game, tweak gameplay based on beta-tester suggestions and, I would think, fix bugs.
The first phase of the beta testing will wrap up on July 16, with a second phase kicking off in September once the tweaks for the game have been implemented. I guess by fall they mean late fall. Hit the jump for the full, but brief, press release.
Pirates of the Caribbean Online - Launch Update
Disney has been in the beta testing process for Pirates of the Caribbean Online for the past several months. After a careful internal assessment of the state of game development as well as a review of external feedback, we have elected to spend additional development time and move to a fall launch. We will use this extra time to further enhance the game, respond to additional data we've collected during beta testing and incorporate more of the input we have gathered. July 16 will conclude phase 1 of the beta testing and we will resume phase 2 with a new game build in September.
In the meantime, we will continue to support and grow the strong community that has congregated around Pirates of the Caribbean Online through monthly developer diaries and newsletters, the delivery of new screen shots and assets, hosting a variety of in-game and fan events and through other exciting creative campaigns. All new materials and community information can be found at www.PiratesOnline.com.
