Mimimi Games, the developer behind 2020's great strategy game Desperados 3, has revealed its latest project. It's called Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, and the team at Mimimi describes it as a "stealth strategy" game.
In Shadow Gambit, you'll "join a ghost ship with a living soul and assemble a cursed pirate crew. Embrace supernatural powers to defy the menacing army of the Inquisition, who stands between you and the mysterious treasure of the legendary Captain Mordechai." Your own ship is the Red Marley, described as a "ghost ship with a living soul." From it you can take on individual character missions to learn more about your crew, plan your next adventure, or just hang out with your crew.
You'll also have the ability to pause time to plan moves as well as to go back to the spot you paused in order to try another tactic if you fail. Overall, think "Desperados 3 meets Pirates of the Caribbean."
Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Take a look at the announcement trailer at the top of the page and the first gameplay trailer below.
Ryan McCaffrey is IGN's executive editor of previews and host of both IGN's weekly Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, as well as our monthly(-ish) interview show, IGN Unfiltered. He's a North Jersey guy, so it's "Taylor ham," not "pork roll." Debate it with him on Twitter at @DMC_Ryan.
