Davy x Jones Announced for PC

Blacktail developer Parasight has announced Davy x Jones, a new first-person action-adventure game for PC and consoles where you play as infamous pirate Davy Jones. The catch? You’re headless, and you’ll wield that severed skull – along with plenty of weapons – as you seek your revenge against Blackbeard.

Yes, you’ve been betrayed, robbed, and beheaded, but when you awaken in a pirate hell, you’ll make your way through with your sword, gun, and sharp severed wit. Loot treasure across “nine islands floating on an infinite sea of clouds” while also piloting Abby, your half-ship, half-whale that serves as your base, artillery, and ally. And yes, you can absolutely fire devastating cannons at your opponents.

“If you’ve ever dreamed of swashbuckling through the afterlife with your own severed head cracking wise beside you—this is your game,” said Parasight CEO Bartosz Kapron. Wishlist Davy x Jones on Steam if you’re interested.
