Plus: Win $1,000 & Battlewake Booty for Talk Like a Pirate Day!

September 19 is a date pirates ’round the world hold close to their plundering hearts, for avast! It is none other than International Talk Like a Pirate Day, ye scurvy landlubber. And to commemorate this momentous occasion, it gives us great pride to announce that alllllllll swarthy PS VR sea dogs can finally take to the helm: Battlewake is officially available on PlayStation EU, alongside Steam, Oculus, and PS VR NA! Thank ye all for being so patient and supportive, and now that all our V-ARRRRR pirates are here together on this important holiday, we have an incredibly important proposal for you all: BOOTY.

We mean of the glittering gold sort. The cold, hard sort. The kind that makes men’s eyes shine like the night stars above the sea as their hearts wither like a dehydrated soul on a desert island—and we’re giving you all a chance to claim this treasure for your own. This Talk Like a Pirate Day, Pledge the Pirate’s Life together in an exciting collaborative community event where everyone wins!

From today, September 19, through September 29, ye have but two simple tasks: Pledge the Pirate’s life at this website, then jump into Battlewake and get sinking as many ships in multiplayer (Campaign/Warfare/Plunder) as ye can. That’s it! Like the watchful eye of Andromalius, we’ll be keeping track of how much chaos you all wreak together, and as you obtain greater accomplishments, so too do the rewards become all the richer:

  • Sink 50,000 Ships: Battlewake digital swag pack (for all participating pirates!)
  • Sink 100,000 Ships: Battlewake t-shirt and sticker pack (25 scurvy sea-dogs)
  • Sink 150,000 Ships: $50 Steam/Oculus/PlayStation gift card (your choice, 10 lucky landlubbers)
  • Sink 250,000 Ships: $1,000 USD (1 Grand Prize Winner)

Yarrrr, but how does this work?! Ye ask, scratchin’ yer skull. ’Tis simple: every day, we’re tracking the total number of ships sunk across all game modes, including Plunder PvP, and updating the total on this landing page. As ye unlock each tier, you’ll be entered into a random drawing to win, with a grand prize of USD $1,000! Does that clear the fog a bit? And to make achieving this just a tad bit simpler, we’ve set up PvP Happy Hours:
