News: Start building your rum flasks made out of Lego now!

The Pirates of the Caribbean will be returning to movie theaters next year in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. And what better way to celebrate than by releasing Lego Pirates of the Caribbean for the DS, PC, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wii and Xbox 360? Disney Interactive plans to do just that and they've recruited TT Games, the studio behind Lego Star Wars, to help them with development next May.

Like previous Lego adventures, Lego Pirates of the Caribbean will include dozens of characters and 20 levels of pirate fun taken from all four films. Players will be able to play as Jack Sparrow and other characters in a two-player cooperative mode and the anything goes Freeplay mode.

Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game will re-create the action, adventure and memorable moments of the Pirates of the Caribbean mythology in Lego form, incorporating the humor of Lego minifigures and fantastic worlds built from Lego bricks and elements for players to explore. Players can take on the roles of more than 70 characters and experience the pirate adventure, irreverent humor and amazing creatures of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, through action-adventure gameplay and hilariously quirky Lego cut scenes.

If you'd rather play with your Lego Pirates of the Caribbean in the real world, The Lego Group has also announced they'll be producing Pirates of the Caribbean-themed sets beginning in the Spring. Dibs on the Lego Kraken!
