The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend releases March 7, Singer Studios has announced. The virtual reality adventure game starring Lucy Liu will launch simultaneously on Steam and Meta Quest Store.
Singer Studios unveiled The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend with a brief video teaser shared in May 2023. The game itself is a revised take on The Pirate Queen: A Night of Succession, a short VR experience that the British production company debuted in 2021 to widespread acclaim, amassing multiple accolade nominations and winning The Discovery Award for Best Debut at the Raindance Film Festival. While both A Night of Succession and A Forgotten Legend tell the story of a dramatic pirate captaincy transition inspired by true events, the latter also happens to star Hollywood veteran Lucy Liu.
Nine months after first teasing its revised take on The Pirate Queen, Singer Studios has at last treated the game to a release date: March 7. The developer has yet to reveal how much its VR adventure will actually cost, but Meta Quest and Steam users can already wishlist it on their preferred storefront. This will be the second pirate-themed game to release in a span of less than a month, arriving mere weeks after Ubisoft's Skull and Bones hit early access following half a dozen delays.
Although the release date announcement trailer contains a line instructing Lucy Liu's character to «stick to the shadows,» none of the other footage that Singer Studios has revealed so far suggests the game will feature VR stealth sections. Instead, the gameplay loop of The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend appears to revolve around exploration and puzzle-solving, both of which will be narrative-driven.
The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend will mark Lucy Liu's return to the gaming sphere following a 12-year hiatus. Her last video game credit dates back to the 2012 Sleeping Dogs, in which she voiced singer Vivienne Lu. Prior to that, Liu lent her voice to Game Over in Machinimation, a free 2004 shooter meant to promote the animated miniseries Game Over, in which she also starred. Her first voice acting gaming gigs date back to Charlie's Angels and SSX Tricky, released in 2003 and 2001, respectively.
Other than The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend, the actress has several other projects coming out this year. The biggest of that bunch, budget-wise, is the action comedy Red One, in which Lucy Liu will star alongside Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans. Red One hits the silver screens on November 15.
