New 2025 pirate-themed releases

In 2025, providers presented several bright pirated novelties at once. All of them offer modern gameplay mechanics and enhanced visualization, while maintaining the spirit of maritime adventure.

1. Gunpowder (Yggdrasil & Peter & Sons)

Release Date: Week 19/2025 (circa May 10, 2025)

Grid and volatility: classic 5 × 3, 10 paylines; high volatility.

• Sticky Wilds with respins: caught "powder barrels" are fixed and give up to three repeated spins.
• Phantom Power Free Spins: Freespins with increasing multipliers and retriggers.
• Entourage: grim design with smoke and sparks; the "volley" effect is accompanied by sonic cannon volleys.
• Why you should play: Dynamic Hold & Win module and rare but powerful bonuses make each round look like a naval assault.

2. Captain Skull & the Squidly Seas (Games Global & Pearfiction Studios)

Release Date: July 21, 2025

Grid and volatility: 6 × 4 expanding field, 40-256 payment methods; medium-high volatility.

• Squid Attack Feature: A giant squid periodically "lays out" Wild-thickening on the field.
• Treasure Map Quest: an interactive map with a branching path - choosing a direction gives freespins, multipliers or instant prizes.
• Progressive Skull Jackpot: Collecting three skulls launches a progressive jackpot with a growing pool.
• Entourage: cartoonish but detailed graphics - a sea storm, animation of squid tentacles, a corresponding soundtrack.
• Why you should play: Combining a story quest with deep progressive mechanics and a "path choice" effect enhances engagement.

3. Honorable Mention : \[ Title of expected release]

Status: Announced for Q4 2025 at G2E Asia.

Provider: Stormcraft Studios in partnership with Games Global.

Expected features: multiplayer mode "Co-op Raid" based on the joint assault of chests and NFT chests for exclusive bonuses.
