[video=youtube_share;dwEfKFs_BWk]http://youtu.be/dwEfKFs_BWk[/video] Cutthroats: Battle for Black Powder Cove (coming March 28th, 2012) This team-based game puts treasure-troving, ship-sinking scoundrels in a series of breathtaking battles for riches beyond your wildest imagination. In this free-to-play platform exclusive, six teams of up to four players each take to the high seas, blasting each other’s boats to smithereens in an ongoing sequence of seafaring skirmishes to increase XP and unlock exclusive content. Play as your avatar and assume the role of captain or gunner in a persistent and perpetual game of maritime combat. Gather booty from sunken ships or purchase gold coins from the in-game store and exchange for power-ups that increase speed, damage, and range. Select from a variety of munitions to barrage your enemies, earning XP for every successful attack and unlocking unique rewards as you progress through the ranks. Set to release in Spring 2012 is VEEMEE’s post-apocalyptic shooter No Man’s Land – arguably PlayStation Home’s most ambitious title yet, offering gamers the most advancing shooter experience the platform has ever seen. And coming this summer is PlayStation Home’s first multiplayer role-playing game, Mercia. Developed by Lockwood Publishing, Mercia transports players into a fantastical world filled with treacherous dungeons, magic spells, and a plethora of weapons and enemies (what’s more – Mercia continually streams content, leading to zero load times while playing!) No Man’s Land (coming Spring 2012) Hyper-violent, intensely gritty, and absolutely not for the faint-of-heart, No Man’s Land is a post-apocalyptic third-person shooter unlike any other game in the history of PlayStation Home. Race through urban wastelands where chaos and disorder are ever-present, dodging enemy fire and exacting revenge on roaming bands of death-addicted warriors in a world gone mad. Squads of up to four players each clash in two game modes – Team Deathmatch and Scavengers – in pulse-pounding multiplayer mayhem where only the savage survive. [video=youtube_share;3kK3qbc1i8o]http://youtu.be/3kK3qbc1i8o[/video] Unique, action-packed game play in a dark, desperate third person shooter framework that introduces signature “Cover-to-Cover” movement and “Tru-Aim” combat systems to PlayStation Home. Two game modes at launch: Team Deathmatch pits two teams in a competition to rack up the most kills in a multiplayer session; Scavengers places teams against one another in a fight to collect salvage and return to their base while avoiding enemy fire. Freemium model: Default load-out for all players with premium weapon and armor upgrades that affect rate of fire, player speed, resistance, and more. Additional maps, modes, functionality, and associated content planned for future expansions. Mercia (coming Summer 2012) Enter the fractured realms of Mercia, Home’s exclusive multiplayer RPG (Role-Playing Game). Take up your sword and embark on a journey through a fantastical world where adventure lies around every corner. With a high-fantasy narrative and gameplay elements that recount the most popular action RPGs of all time, Mercia offers players an enchanting online game experience across wondrous lands where heroes are born…and magic reigns supreme. Play alone or join forces with other warriors to uncover the secrets of Mercia in a free-to-play adventure through a world where good and evil clash in epic, bone-crushing battles.

Collect, create, and customize a wide assortment of weapons, armor, and special powers. Gather potions and magical items to harness the elements and defeat scores of monstrous beasts and fearsome foes. In other news, here’s a list of the new content hitting PlayStation Home today! Adventure District – A lush jungle island which offers stunning tropical areas to explore, including an ancient temple, a sweeping coastal shoreline and a beachfront bar – the Adventure District also serves as the launch point for Cutthroats: Battle for Black Powder Cove.

I know what i'll be doing on home a lot from now on starting this thursday :biglaugh2: Playing Cutthroats Battle for Black Powder Cove, I love games like that and i blame pirates of the caribbean for it.
Cutthroats is great, i'm really enjoying it. XD I like the look of the new Adventure district, plenty of greenery there which is a nice change. Looking forward to seeing more of Mercia and No Man's Land.
OMG BEST update I have seen thus far in my year or so of playing Home. I'm so excited to play Cutthroats! And that freaking RPG set for release this summer? So BOSS. ...now if only I could kick my hubby off BF3 for a few minutes. :ham6:
I don't know what to say. I'm surprised, astonished, amazed and intrigued. I'm really looking forward to playing all three games, they all look incredible. Just one question: When is EU getting Cutthroats. Not until next week, i guess. Or maybe in two weeks, because of the easter holiday.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR NO MANS LAND!! Cuttroaths is awesome btw! Im up to Level 14 and I cant stop playing! Also the Adventure District is very nicely done! And is great to see they kept the Uncharted Fortune Hunter Space to!
When a update lets you sink Elmo and Rach, you know it must be good! Now just need kimi on Home to sink her!
Great game and good fun, looking forward to the other two as well as long as they dont go too freemium becoming virtually impossible unless you spend, It does need an AI boats though because as in most games on Home when the rewards are done and the space goes quiet your going to need at least 4 to play it and one boat chasing another boat is not going to be fun
a nice co-op vs AI mode might be great maybe that and raise the level I'm already at 28 and I haven't even been playing it that much. The game is very fun I hope it stays for a very long time, and doesn't get left in the background like the yetis game is being so far.
I'm at level 16 and I'm very pleased with Cuttroaths! But my crew likes to leave so talk about a mutiny.
Ive been to pirates cove several times and theres never been a full crew on every ship yet, various times aswell, have Sony decided to allow less people in each server to avoid lag and queues, because it should be noted and applauded if they have learnt some lessons and acted
