About
Betrayed, robbed, and beheaded, legendary pirate Davy Jones sinks to The Locker—the seafarers’ afterlife. But death is merely the beginning of his epic tale of revenge. Control the captain’s headless body—Jones—and forge an unlikely alliance with his stubborn skull—Davy—as you reclaim your stolen artifacts and face your eternal nemesis: Blackbeard.
Key Features
- Body x Head: A Fresh Take on the Legend of Davy Jones – Play as the infamous Davy Jones, split in two: his skull cracks wise and guides the way, while you command his powerful, headless body in a bizarre, unforgettable alliance.
- The Locker: Pirates’ Open (Under)world – Journey through The Locker, a surreal pirate hell shattered into nine islands drifting across an endless sea of clouds. Face twisted fiends, cursed souls and legendary behemoths like the Kraken—guardians of the underworld’s darkest secrets.

- Abby: Your Living Vessel: Half Ship, Half Whale – Meet Abby: a young behemoth, hybrid of ship and whale who joins your epic journey. She’s your base, your artillery, and your ally. Recruit legendary Officers to crew her and unleash devastating abilities like CANNONS in combat.
