Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales, known in Russia as Corsairs III (Корсары III), is a video game developed by Akella. Due to legal issues, it does not bear the name of the developers' previous pirate games Sea Dogs or Pirates of the Caribbean. Unlike Pirates of the Caribbean, Age Of Pirates was developed with the intent of serving as a true sequel to Sea Dogs despite the name change, and chronicles the story of the children of the main character from the original. The sequel of the game was released on May 26, 2009 titled Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships. In 2017, the game was digitally released on GOG and Steam as Sea Dogs: Caribbean Tales. Main characters The player can choose whether to play as Blaze Shark or his step sister Beatrice Shark. Gameplay Age of Pirates Caribbean Tales plays out in several different ways.
