The next Port Royale installment, Port Royale 4, will launch later this year. Publisher Kalypso Media and developer Gaming Minds Studios plan on rolling out the new entry on September 25th for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam and the Kalypso Store, and Xbox One platforms. Fans of the business simulation franchise should expect an overall familiar experience. However, there is one noteworthy addition?turn-based naval battles.
A closed beta goes live today for PC users who purchase Port Royale 4 through the Kalypso Store. The beta includes quite a bit of content, such as Free Mode and the entire Spanish Campaign. As of writing, it remains to be seen if Kalypso and Gaming Minds will host similar beta sessions on consoles. Still, the following beta trailer provides a good look at what the new Port Royale entry has on offer:
