Flying Lab Software has released an update regarding the progress of its recent character transfer service for Pirates of the Burning Sea. According to the devs, three of their four destination servers are almost at full capacity. Further details on this update are available in the full article.

In a world of pirates hungry for bounty, conflict is part of daily life. By the end of the day, the most powerful nation in a server is crowned victorious. Flying Lab Software was kind enough to list down the first ever nations to dominate their respective servers in the MMORPG Pirates of the Burning Sea, and you won't miss out by sailing to the full article.

If you're one of the many digital seafarers coasting the seven seas in Pirates of the Burning Sea, then this news bit might just be right up your poop deck. Well, figuratively speaking, that is. The Blackbeard server is now back online and ready for you to resume the pillaging. Check out the full details after the jump.

We've heard quite a lot about Pirates of the Burning Sea, but is it just a mere drop in an ocean of MMORPGs, or something that rises out of the water like a voracious sea monster ready to devour a ship or two? We find out ourselves as we review the official beta tour of the game. Check out the entire story in the full article.

Someone's finally put the treasure on the map. Correction: there's actually Two Treasures on the map, to be more specific. Tortuga: Two Treasures from Ascaron is now available. Here's an action adventure title that's immersive with all its Carribean myth, fearsome pirates, and fabled treasures. The high-seas adventure with Thomas "Hawk" Blythe and Blackbeard will put you to the test when you find out if it's really a pirate's life for you.

With the release, the developers have given us a healthy dose of screenshots for us to enjoy. These screens show off the exotic environment that the game has for its back drop. For some reason, we're surprised. You'd think that after a lot of pirate games being released left and right, they couldn't render the Carribean any more different from one game to another. Seems like Ascaron did. Click the X mark (that'd be the "Full Article" link, if you're not used to it yet) below and open up a treasure trove of screens.

Ahoy! You've met the crew, read the storyline, and seen the gameplay videos. Here's something new coming from the depths of Davy Jones' locker.

CDV's Tortuga - Two Treasures takes you on an adventure with Captain Thomas "Hawk" Blythe's and Sangua, his leading lady, to find Henry Morgan's treasure. Well, it won't be easy with Blackbeard and the Jolly Roger on his heels. We'll see what happens when this game hits the shelves in March.

While waiting for the game to set sail, feast your eyes (the one without the eyepatch) on these interface and gameplay screenshots.

The rest of the screens await after the jump!

"It is my intention to commandeer one of these ships; pick up a crew in Tortuga; raid, pillage, plunder, and otherwise pilfer my weaselly black guts out," said Captain Jack Sparrow in the movie "Pirates of the Carribean". Good ol' Captain Jack. We saw the island of Tortuga a number of times in the movie and what a sight it was. Yup, Tortuga was once a pirate haven, neutral hideout for pirates and their loot.

So we have fuzzy idea of what to expect from Tortuga - Two Treasures. In the game, you play as the pirate Thomas "Hawk" Blythe, captain of the frigate "Hawkwind". Hawk, together with his girlfriend Sangua (a voodoo priestess), works under the command of the infamous "Blackbeard".

The pirate Henry Morgan was Governor of Jamaica and was rumored to have amassed a vast treasure from his exploits. It was said that Morgan hid his treasures and killed those who knew about his treasure. Fifty years later, Hawk and Sangua go in search of Henry Morgan's fabled treasure. It wasn't all smooth sailing for Hawk as voodoo magic, a deadly curse, Blackbeard's wrath, and betrayal all stand between him and the treasure.

You, as Hawk, can take a host of alternatives to achieve his goals, but a level head and some strategic planning should always be within reach. You'll have a chance to fight close combat with sailors or sneak past enemies using stealth. Be ready for sword fights and cannon battles.

Tortuga - Two Treasures by CDV Software Entertainment is set for release in March of next year. Savvy?

Tortuga, a port founded in 1492 by Europe shortly following Christopher Columbus' discovery of America. Tortuga, so named because of its resemblance to a tortoise shell, was a hotzone between the colonial superpowers of the time - Britain, France, and Spain - and was the focal point of the buccaneer era. End of history lesson.

Tortuga also happens to be the focal point of Tortuga: Two Treasures, set to come out in March. The game puts the player behind the helm of Thomas ‘Hawk’ Blythe, a 24-year-old pirate serving under the infamous Blackbeard, so expect plenty of cannon and sword battles, both on land and sea. And to give you an idea of what to expect when it makes landfall this March, here's some game vids for downloading.
