The team at SNEG Ltd. announced that Captain Blood will embark on his titular, long-awaited adventure on May 6.
Originally set to release for the Xbox 360 in 2010, Captain Blood’s launch was “scuppered” (great choice of words) when the original publisher went bankrupt, along with a number of legal challenges emerging that prevented the developers from releasing the title themselves.
Now with SNEG Ltd. at the helm in 2025, Captain Blood’s release challenges have been resolved.
This title has also been tweaked to be more in tune for modern gamers, all while conserving the retro look and feel Captain Blood was originally created in.

SNEG co-founder Artem Shchuiko said the following:
“Captain Blood is a love letter from a bygone gaming era, when you could start and finish a fun, linear, and QTE-heavy games in a weekend and still have time left to debate next-gen console specs.
So much love and passion went into making this one, from the original dev team to our crew at SNEG Ltd. We know gamers, young and old, have been craving an old-school pirate adventure, and here it comes!”
For those looking to get a jump on things, Captain Blood can now be wishlisted for the PC via both Steam and GOG platforms. The title will retail for $24.99.
