Ahoy there, mateys! Developer Fika Productions and publisher Team17 have dropped a debut trailer for their upcoming co-op sail-’em-up roguelite, Ship of Fools, which charts a course for PC and consoles later this year.
Check out the game’s new announcement trailer for yourself down below:
Boasting a charming hand-drawn art-style, a lighthearted humorous tone, intense swashbuckling combat, as well as some tactical co-op gameplay, Ship of Fools is a nautical adventure with randomly-generated elements.
Ship of Fools’ gameplay appears reminiscent of other couch co-op experiences like Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Snipperclips and Overcooked, where you have to work in tandem with one another to overcome a pesky challenge.
Specific console platforms and a specific release date haven’t yet been confirmed at the time of writing.
For more information, here’s a rundown courtesy of an official press release we received today from Team17:
