Disney announced the development of new video game titles based on its upcoming sequel film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in the summer of 2006. Disney's Buena Vista Games unit will release games for the PSP and Nintendo DS in conjunction with the movie's launch.
British game developer Eurocom will create future games for the upcoming next-generation consoles based on the hit movie franchise, the company said.
In the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest video games, players will be able to take on the roles of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner or Elizabeth Swann as they explore and brawl across land and sea on a quest for the legendary Dead Man's Chest. The games will feature moments from the movie and new adventures and locations inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean universe. The handheld titles are being developed by Seattle-based Amaze Entertainment and Griptonite Games, Disney said.
The film, a sequel to the hit film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, is due for release in July 2006.

12:00 AM, 26-APRIL-05 Disney's Pirates Going Online
The Walt Disney Co. has announced plans to create a new massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise and the theme park attraction which inspired it, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The game, developed by The Walt Disney Internet Group, is expected to go live in coordination with the upcoming sequel film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in the summer of 2006.
This is the second such venture for Disney Online, which launched Disney's Toontown Online in 2003, the first 3-D MMORPG created for kids and families. The game will be designed with action and humor as players personalize their own pirate character and form their own crews to engage in swashbuckling adventures, most of which involve battles against other crews or the evil undead, the trade paper reported. A spokesperson for Disney Online said the company expected the subscription-based game to be priced similarly to Toontown, which costs $9.99 a month. It is undetermined which, if any, of the actors in the movies will have a presence in the game.
