Kalypso a mis en ligne cette semaine une longue vidéo montrant l’exploration de la mer des Caraïbes telle que l’on pourra le faire dans le prochain quatrième volet de cette série. L’occasion de découvrir de jolis effets visuels et donc le potentiel graphique du jeu. Le tout étant accompagné par une belle musique mais n’offrant toutefois pas de gameplay.
En parallèle voici aussi quatre belles captures d’écrans ainsi qu’une feuille de route concernant la bêta privée allant se dérouler d’ici à la sortie du jeu, le 25 septembre prochain.

Port Royale 4 shows off vast game world and stunning orchestral soundtrack in ‘Explorer’ video
Publisher Kalypso Media and in-house developer Gaming Minds Studios today released the Port Royale 4 ‘Explorer video’, showcasing the vast and beautiful world of the upcoming 17th century trading sim and its accompanying orchestral soundtrack.
Measuring 12 million squared kilometres, the game’s playable area spans from the Florida Keys in the USA to the northern tip of South America, giving players the opportunity to explore the world and commandeer those settlements they encounter along the way.
With real life travel off the cards for the foreseeable future, Port Royale 4‘s ‘Explorer video’ is the perfect replacement. Clocking in at over 30 minutes, the video follows the journey of a vessel as it travels from one side of the map to the other. The tone of the video is meditative, encouraging viewers to sit back, relax and lose themselves to the game’s pristine Caribbean scenery and original orchestral score.
Arriving with the ‘Explorer video’ is a beta development road map and new batch of screenshots (below), further detailing the game’s stunning environment and the features and improvements still to come in the lead up to launch on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One 25th September, 2020.
Those eager to drink-in even more stunning Caribbean scenery can tune-in to an exclusive livestream this evening at 6pm BST on the official Kalypso Media Twitch channel, hosted by Producer Moritz Klein.
The Port Royale 4 beta is available now to those pre-purchasing the game via the Kalypso Store.
