Pirates of the Burning Sea is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) previously developed by Flying Lab Software and Portalus Games, and currently supported by Vision Online Games. The game is set in the Caribbean in an anachronistic 1720 and combines tactical ship battles and swashbuckling combat with a player-driven economy and open-ended gameplay. In the game, players can choose from four nations: Great Britain, Spain, France and the generically named 'Pirates'.
The game was originally set to be closed in September 2018 by Portalus Games, but in 2019 Vision Online Games took over the game's operation, including the support for increased development and advertising.
