Oh sure, take all the time you need. It’s not like I’m getting any younger.

Developers working on the Pirates of the Caribbean Online video game made it clear that they need more time to fine tune the gameplay, work out bugs, and continue to enhance the overall online gaming experience, and for that reason Disney today announced that the game will be pushed back to the fall. The press release is below.

Pirates of the Caribbean Online – Launch Update

Disney has been in the beta testing process for Pirates of the Caribbean Online for the past several months. After a careful internal assessment of the state of game development as well as a review of external feedback, we have elected to spend additional development time and move to a fall launch. We will use this extra time to further enhance the game, respond to additional data we’ve collected during beta testing and incorporate more of the input we have gathered. July 16 will conclude phase 1 of the beta testing and we will resume phase 2 with a new game build in September.

In the meantime, we will continue to support and grow the strong community that has congregated around Pirates of the Caribbean Online through monthly developer diaries and newsletters, the delivery of new screen shots and assets, hosting a variety of in-game and fan events and through other exciting creative campaigns.
