Direct answer
Expect a single-player loop centered on building a settlement, connecting production and logistics, and managing ships and sea-facing activities. The Hooded Horse trailer is an official publisher presentation; the other ten videos are third-party evidence and are illustrative rather than an official feature specification.
Corsair Cove combines a pirate-themed city builder with fleet activity. The official Wiki is the navigation hub for buildings, resources, ships, pirates, Compass, Seven Seas and quests. The linked set includes the official Hooded Horse launch trailer plus ten third-party gameplay, guide, and review videos.
Settlement and fleet loop
Hooded Horse positions the game around city building and a fleet, while the official Wiki organizes the major systems and quest topics.
- Buildings and resource chains are part of the settlement layer.
- Ships, pirates, Compass and Seven Seas provide the sea-facing topics to investigate.
Official trailer and third-party videos
The Hooded Horse launch trailer is an official publisher source. The other ten selected videos are third-party gameplay, guide, or review material; they can show interface flow and pacing, but they do not establish a guaranteed feature or current balance value.
