Expansive trade sim, Port Royale 4, makes grand Nintendo debut May 28, 2021
Pre-orders open now for all maritime magnates
Publisher Kalypso Media and developer Gaming Minds Studios have today announced that seafaring trade simulator, Port Royale 4, will make its first ever appearance on Nintendo consoles, releasing for the Nintendo Switch family of consoles on May 28.
Port Royale 4 gives players the ultimate trade sim experience, the fourth iteration offering a 12 million square kilometer playground of pristine 17th Century Caribbean scenery to both settle and explore. The Nintendo Switch version includes full touch-screen support, making it effortless to access the in-game mini-map while building intricate production lines that span multiple territories and upgrading settlements with an assortment of ships and buildings.
Those maritime magnates interested in a more action-focused experience can opt to attack rival nations, targeting their fleets and settlements while keeping a keen eye for pirates and other privateers who might be looking to do the same. Those looking to start their own colony can also succeed from their parent nation (France, Spain, England or the Netherlands) and choose a new name for their sovereignty, update their flag to something more their speed, and even take part in a heated war with their former ruler.
