Fireblade Software and PID Games have announced the upcoming launch of Abandon Ship, letting mobile players join in on the fun after the game's successful run on PC in 2019. Eager fans can now pre-register for the pirate-themed strategy adventure title on the iOS App Store and on the Google Play Store.

In Abandon Ship, players take command of an "Age of Sail" ship to go exploring across varied landscapes. As you take your ship and your crew with you, you'll have to duke it out with enemy vessels and battle ferocious sea monsters along the way. You'll have to unleash your inner tactician as you bombard your foes from a safe distance or board their ship for a more direct attack.

Additionally, as you battle the tides and the monsters that lurk beneath the murky waters, you'll also have to combat Mother Nature. Environmental conditions can be a bane or a boon when you're in the heat of battle, as everything from lightning strikes to blizzards can disrupt your hard-planned strategies.
