Games are keeping the once-great real-time stealth strategy genre alive, and their next big release will be a pirate-themed game called Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. Here's everything we know about the game so far, and a release date.

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew Revealed
The latest Mimimi game has been revealed, a real-time stealth tactics game called Shadow Gambit. It looks incredibly similar to their Desperados and Shadow Tactics games, although the pirate-theme also introduces fantastical elements like magic and monsters.
