News: Avast ye matey! Pirates 3 news off the port bow!

Disney Interactive has revealed a few tidbits about the upcoming game based on Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. The game, which will be coming to the PS2, PS3, PSP, PC, Xbox 360, Wii and DS will be released on May 22 alongside the film.

Players will take on the roles of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann as they simulate the life of a buccaneer. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions will sport "Innovative dueling controls" while the Wii version will turn the Wiimote into a cutlass for "swinging and thrusting motions that are similar to fighting with a sword."

At World's End will also make for the lack of a game based on the second movie, Dead Man's Chest, by including levels based on that film as well.

"Fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise will experience adventures inspired by the second and third films while going far beyond the events of those films," said Craig Relyea, vice president of marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. "With the action, excitement, unforgettable characters and expansive locations from the blockbuster films, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End will be the definitive 'Pirates' video game experience for fans. Our games go beyond the films to introduce legendary pirates, new locations and unique endings that will satisfy the pirate in each of us."

All versions of At World's End will be developed by Eurocom, except for the DS version, which will be handled by handheld specialists Amaze.
