Few games have been as successful as Wizard101, which has more than 14 million unique monthly visitors in part because nobody has created an equivalent Harry Potter online title yet.
So, with great expectations from its fans, Wizard101 publisher KingsIsle Entertainment now unveils its second major online world: Pirate101. The popularity of Wizard101 alone will make this next online game a major release if only because KingsIsle will be able to heavily market this title to its existing gamers. This new title is currently in alpha testing.
"The Austin-based (Texas, the US) indie games developer KingsIsle Entertainment today announced with great happiness and excitement that they have just released the "New Quality of Life" update for their pirate-themed turn-based tactics MMORPG “Pirate101“ (the said update is available right now for PC via Steam)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
