Wizard101 developer KingsIsle Entertainment is celebrating the 10th annual Talk Like a Pirate Day with new pre-order details and a target launch window for their latest creation, Pirate101. The game is scheduled to launch this October, but fans can pre-order one of the new bundle options now to lock in early access and get some extra booty.

The pre-launch bundles come in two flavors:

Gandry Bundle, available for $59.99 comes with a full one-year membership to Pirate101, one-week of early access and an exclusive in-game pet, the Scarakeet. The second, and more robust option, the Boochbeard Bundle, is priced at $89.99 and comes with all the perks of the Gandry Bundle along with automatic entry into the Pirate101 beta, the Castaway’s Cove pirate hideaway, a parrot mount, an exclusive Cat Pirate companion, the Dread Pirate’s Outfit, a “Ruby Slicer” sword and virtual items that will be awarded post-launch.

KINGSISLE REVEALS EXCLUSIVE PRE-LAUNCH BUNDLES FOR PIRATE101



Pirate101 Launch Set for October 2012

PLANO, TEXAS (September 19, 2012) – KingsIsle Entertainment announced today that it is now selling pre-launch bundles for the upcoming game Pirate101. The bundles will be available for a limited time.

"Over the last several weeks we’ve had hundreds of thousands of players sign-up for the Pirate101 closed Beta, but our plan has been that we only let a small subset of that number in,” said Fred Howard, vice president of Marketing at KingsIsle.  “Today, we are offering players the chance to purchase pre-launch bundles that feature game access and virtual item options that will never be available for sale in the game again.”

Two pre-launch bundles are available for purchase immediately. Both bundles provide players with a full one-year membership to Pirate101. Additionally, both bundles grant a seven-day head start to access the live game when it launches in October 2012. As all closed Beta characters will be deleted prior to launch, this seven-day head start will give purchasers the chance to make meaningful progress on live characters prior to general game availability.

  • Automatic entry into the Pirate101 closed Beta
