Capcom’s upcoming real-time multiplayer strategy game Age of Booty has been priced at $10.

In a post on Capcom’s Unity Blog, Daryl revealed that after checking out the final version of the game two of his friends said they would buy it for $10 while one said he would fork out as much as $20. The lucky friends only got to see the multiplayer game play over LAN, so the single player mode, map editor and match ranking system are still under wraps.

Although we don’t know an exact release date yet, Capcom recently announced that Microsoft is taking a look at the build for Xbox Live Arcade and that Sony would soon get their hands on the PlayStation Network version. According to a comment by Daryl on the blog, the game is expected to arrive in early October.

Daryl promised more information on the demo soon but he did confirm that the XBLA and PSN trials will be available on release day.

Developed by Certain Affinity (of Halo series fame) Age of Booty sees players stepping behind the wheel of a pirate ship, looting and capturing towns and defeating enemies along the way.

Team up with online players or AI controlled pirate ships to become the ruler of the high seas. Up to four players can connect on a single console or up to eight players over Lan or internet. Use booty to upgrade and customize your ship as you take on 25 challenges and seven Pirate Alliances. The game features online leaderboards as well as a map creation system that allows players to create and share maps.
