Tripwire Presents and Ice Code Games have announced the pirate-y roguelite Rogue Waters coming to Steam and Epic Games Store next month. The best part is that budding pirates will be able to get their scurvy hands on the game much earlier than they might thing. According to the developers, the game will be ready to set sail on September 30, 2024.
During Gamescom 2024, the team released a trailer introducing viewers to the game and offering a look at the roguelite action in the single-player adventure.
