How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
An island off the west coast of Africa, with jagged volcanic peaks, where Edward sails to find the pirate Bartholomew Roberts.
The real place
Príncipe is the smaller of the two main islands of São Tomé and Príncipe in the Gulf of Guinea. Roberts' crew really did attack the island in 1719. The whole island is a UNESCO biosphere reserve, covered in rainforest down to the sea.
Visiting
Flights from São Tomé take about 40 minutes. The island is small, with a handful of eco lodges and very few cars.
