This multi-award-winning game from Singer Studios stands out for its historical accuracy, immersive storytelling, and innovative gameplay, making it a must-play for VR enthusiasts.

Here are 8 reasons why “The Pirate Queen” with Lucy Liu is the most important virtual reality game you’ll play:

1. You Step into the Shoes of a Legendary Pirate

In The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend, players are transported to the 19th-century South China Sea, where they assume the role of Cheng Shih. Commanding over 1,800 pirate ships and 80,000 pirates, Cheng Shih was a formidable leader who instituted progressive gender laws, ensuring equal treatment for all under her command.

Despite her significant achievements, her story remains relatively unknown. This game brings her legacy to life with meticulous detail and a compelling narrative, allowing players to explore the intricacies of her life and leadership.

2. There’s Meticulous Historical Accuracy

Singer Studios has dedicated five years to ensuring that The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend is historically accurate. Collaborating with academics, researchers, and sensitivity experts, they have recreated environments and narratives that reflect real events.

Chinese-German writer Maja Bodenstein led the narrative design, drawing from extensive research on Cheng Shih’s life and the British-China relations of the era. Every detail, from ship designs to in-game objects, has been carefully crafted to provide an authentic experience. The game’s environments are all designed to immerse players fully in the historical period.
