Get ready to set sail on the open seas. This list will cover the best-anticipated pirate games coming our way in 2025.
#7 SeaDogs Of Nassau
When it comes to pirate titles, the feeling that many want to invoke is that of freedom. After all, that’s what the pirate life was all about. You wished to go out onto the high seas and see all that it had to offer, and to make your own legend and fate. SeaDogs Of Nassau will grant you that desire, while also offering you many paths to become the best around.
The main location, Nassau, has been destroyed, and you are tasked with trying to rebuild it. However, you can choose to be a pirate or a member of the navy to accomplish it. With a vast open world and many battles ahead, your journey will be steered by your own hand.
#6 Pirates – Rogue’s Fortune
Thanks to modern gaming, we have plenty of genres to put things like pirate titles in. For example, Pirates – Rogue’s Fortune is a game that’s heavily influenced by roguelite elements, which means you’ll have plenty of challenges ahead, and none of them will play out the same way twice.
You’ll play a pirate captain who is after a certain treasure that just so happens to be cursed. Yeah, surely nothing can go wrong with that! Regardless, you’ll scour the ocean and attempt to find items and materials that you’ll use to upgrade your pirate ship. You’ll need to do that constantly, as there will be many challenges that await you on the high seas.
#5 Sea of Legends
You might think that there are only so many ways to play a pirate title, but games like Sea of Legends will show you that it’s only limited by the imaginations of those who want to make them. For example, this game is made by industry legends who have great experience in tactics-based titles. Thus, they’re putting that here to give you a pirate game that’s composed of card game-style combat mechanics!
You’ll need to build your deck properly as you travel the high seas and then put your skills to the test to outmaneuver foes and use the terrain you’re on to your advantage. Whether you’re on land or on the ship’s deck, your choices will decide the outcome of fights!
#4 Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War
You might think it’s odd that Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War is a bit low on this list, but the reason for that is simple: the movies are long since past their prime. It’s true that they might make a comeback, but it’s also true that if you’re playing this game, it’s because you want to enjoy a pirate title.
The good news is that this game aims to give you that experience by letting you be your own pirate in this Disney world, and you can assemble fleets, build your own hideout, and create alliances with other pirate lords to take on other player-led armadas! It’s the pirates life for ye!
#3 Pirates Republic
When it came to pirates, they had to work hard to build up the clout that would earn them fame and infamy on the high seas, and for you and your crew in Pirates Republic, that’s exactly what you’ll have to do. With several pirate legends still in their prime on the waters, you’ll have to master your ships and craft to get loads of treasure, take down rival vessels, and create a legend all your own.
The world is procedurally generated, and with the ability to play the game in co-op, you’ll have at least one trust partner to help you as you take on all comers.
#2 Corsairs: Battle of the Caribbean
While many like to picture pirate battles as something that only really happened in movies, especially on a grand scale, that’s actually not true. There was a time during the Age of Discovery when many nations clashed in the name of wealth and glory and to make a name for themselves on the high seas. In Corsairs: Battle of the Caribbean, you’ll be a part of those times and have the chance to carve out your own path while you carve up your enemies.
First, pick the nation you want to support, then go out and explore the waters and do what needs to be done to gain power and take down any in your way.
#1 Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
It may be true that there are plenty of pirate games coming out in 2025, but there’s only one that will be the talk of the town when it arrives, and that’s Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii! Yeah, they’re bringing the Yakuza to the high seas, and we’re totally here for it! Plus, it stars Goro Majima, which means things will get nuts!
Easily the best part about this is that you’ll get to build your crew, customize your ship, and then do massive naval battles to earn money and clout so you can take on all comers, including the pirate rulers of Madlantis!
