Titan Studios has dropped a rather big tease on its official blog, consisting of the above image and the simple battle cry: "Avast!" From the looks of things, pirates are coming to Fat Princess, and while I don't know quite how that would offend feminists, I'm sure they'll find a way to be upset by it.
What does this seriously mean, though? Could it be a whole new character class? Alternate costumes? Considering hats are the way classes are selected in Fat Princess, it would suggest that pirates could be a brand new unit in the game. However, it's also possible that Titan is just screwing with us, and this image means abolutely nothing.
We'll have to sit tight and see. YARRRR!

I lol'd!
But the pirates would be a class that I would like to try, some swashbuckling fun would be had.
I just hope it is free DLC. Of course there is the option to Download straight from Fat Princess, but given all the connection problems with a $15 price tag, it seems they owe it to the players.
Also, I have a logistic question. Because Fat Princess lacks an in depth system of searching, how would they implement new classes into a game where some of the players don't have the hats? Would they have to redesign to levels as well to accommodate more factories?
If these will become an actual class I wonder how it would be implemented and if they would charge for it or not, or if they could only be used on certain new levels.
I guess it really just depends on how this all turns out in the future.
Interesting note: My browser says that Heteronormative is either spelled wrong or isn't a word. My bet is the latter.
But! Pirates would be cool (as would ninjas if that other image has any veracity). I love my Fat Princess but there's a definite lack of content there. Mostly in the levels but new classes would change things up a bit.
