“The Award-Winning ‘The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend’ Sails Onto Meta Quest Headsets Today”

Eloise Singer was interviewed by Hayden Dingman at Meta for the Meta Quest Blog. Read an extract below, and be sure to read the whole interview at the link at the bottom of this article.

Who was the most powerful pirate in history? Blackbeard? Captain Kidd? Bartholomew Roberts?

Wrong. In the early 1800s, a woman named Cheng Shih took over her late husband’s fleet in the South China Sea, commanding two dozen ships—and presiding over a 400-strong fleet, consisting of around 70,000 pirates. Taking on rivals like the East India Company and the ships of the Great Qing, Cheng Shih rose through the ranks to become one of the most successful and revered pirates in history.

Now, The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend lets you step into Cheng Shih’s shoes on Meta Quest 2 and 3. Discover her remarkable tale in this narrative adventure, as Cheng Shih (voiced by Lucy Liu) ascends to power on the night her husband dies. The award-winning The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend is just the start of this journey, with a TV series, graphic novel, film, and more on the way.
