It's always fun when a game changes its previously announced title mid-way through its development. You have to go back and re-label screenshots to reflect the new title and every story you write about the game has to mention the previous title's name change so that your readers don't get confused.

Capcom has done exactly that with the game now previously known as Plunder, the pirate themed downloadable strategy game from developer Certain Affinity. The game is now known as Age of Booty which will certainly get a grin every time someone says the new name. No reason for the name change was revealed.

Pirates. Whether you think the current surge of interest in dirty old sailors is just a trend or something we need, the game industry has taken it up with relish as well. Capcom knows a good thing when it sees one and got the rights to publish Plunder, the upcoming pirate themed downloadable strategy game from developer Certain Affinity.

As part of their recent press event, Capcom released some new screenshots from the game which, despite the hexes you might see, is a real-time strategy title where you will go after merchant ships, raid towns and otherwise be the best pirate you can be. In addition to a single player campaign, Plunder will also have 25 multiplayer maps with support for up to eight players online or via LAN. We hope to get more info about the game before its release sometime this summer.
