Rogueliker

Update: There’s a new trailer to share with you, and it has giant axes. While I’m not sure it’s worth putting out a new story every time a new vid drops: GIANT AXES!

Original: With its Q1 2026 launch on the horizon, Redbeak Games has dropped its biggest teaser for Roguebound Pirates yet to tide players over.

Billed as a preview trailer with the visuals being subject to change, it shows the game’s ship-on-ship combat, deep vessel customisation, and desert island base building in action.

Announced late last year, Roguebound Pirates is an adventure roguelike that wears its influence of Sid Meier’s Pirates on its sleeve. Among other standout features, the game looks to feature deep ship customisation, with players being able to furnish their ships with different weapons, equipment, and powerful relics.

Roguebound Pirates can be wishlisted on Steam now and a public demo is planned to set sail later this year. You can check out the first trailer for Roguebound Pirates in all its glory below:
