A long-lost action-adventure game from the early 2000s - Captain Blood - finally made its way to modern platforms on May 6 after being stuck in development purgatory for over a decade and then abandoned. Being such an old game, Captain Blood expectedly has its quirks and oddities, but publisher SNEG has defended them as integral tenets of its very charm.
Work on Captain Blood first began in 2003 by Akella, the developer behind the Pirates of the Caribbean game of that era. Captain Blood was meant to be a gritty, God of War-inspired hack-and-slash game set to release in 2006 for the OG Xbox and PC, but was later shifted to the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, Captain Blood publisher Playlogic declared bankruptcy in 2010, leaving the game's development stalled and eventually canceled. Now, Captain Blood has been completed and released by SNEG, a publisher dedicated to game preservation.
