Corsair Cove is a pirate city-building strategy game for PC, developed by Limbic Entertainment and published by Hooded Horse. It launched on July 31, 2026, on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store, and is also playable through PC Game Pass. The game's core twist is vertical construction: pirates wash up on a remote island with almost no flat land, so players build towns across steep cliffs and hills, using bridges, zip lines, and elevators to move goods and people.
Gameplay centers on supply chains. Facilities produce items such as alcohol and firearms, but each requires specific materials, and the pirates need food. Resources the island cannot provide must be taken by raiding nearby islands, a task complicated by the kingdom's fleet and monsters that patrol the sea and may attack the town. Maintaining military strength before sailing is a stated priority. Pirate cohesion also matters: losing battles or running short on food lowers it, and in the worst case riots break out. Random event choices affect cohesion as well, so players make decisions based on the situation.
Sales followed strong pre-release interest. The game reached 100,000 wishlist registrations within two weeks of its announcement, and then sold 100,000 copies within three days of its August 1 release. The launch included a 25% discount on Steam and Epic.
