Developers Seawolf Studio and General Arcade have announced that they’re bringing Captain Blood to the Switch. There’s no announced release date at this time, but you can enjoy the debut trailer above.

Captain Blood is a pirate-themed action game set on the Spanish Main in the 17th century, where you step into the boots of a fearsome pirate on a quest for gold and glory. Expect wild adventures with cannon firing, pistol shooting, swashbuckling sword fights, and plenty of pirate shenanigans.
