Pirates of the Caribbean Gets Blocked

Disney Interactive Studios and TT Games today announced that they are joining with The LEGO Group to bring Jack Sparrow and other familiar characters to life in virtual LEGO adventures with LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game. The video game is being developed by TT Games, the group behind a portfolio of critically acclaimed, best-selling LEGO video games, and will be published by Disney Interactive Studios for Wii and Nintendo DS, as well as Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PC. Interestingly, it mentions the 'Nintendo DS' family, perhaps alluding to a 3DS game eventually being revealed as well.

The video games will be released simultaneously with the highly anticipated new film Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in May 2011, and will be based in the world of the globally successful film franchise, incorporating storylines, locations and characters from the first three films (The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End), as well as the upcoming fourth film.

Pirates of the Caribbean is a globally successful franchise based in action, adventure and humor perfectly suited for a LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game adaptation. Combining the excitement of playing as Jack Sparrow and other recognisable characters from the franchise will make the game fun for players of all ages throughout the world.
