Keiji Inafune's KAIO: King Of Pirates Coming Next Year
KAIO: King of Pirates was one of the first announced games from Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune following his departure from Capcom, and it should be arriving next year.
A date on the official KAIO: King of Pirates website changed recently to reflect a 2014 release, as noticed by Gematsu. The game was announced in 2011 with a 2012 release date, but that window came and went.
For more on KAIO: King of Pirates, check out our interview with Inafune about the game.

Our Take
After Inafune announced work on Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z and Mighty Number 9, and after not hearing new information about King of Pirates in years, I had assumed the game was cancelled. Or at the very least, put on the furthest back burner. What little we do know about the game makes it sound like an interesting premise., and I am happy to hear that work is still, presumably, being done on the game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
