Propaganda Games Key Releases

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)

A game adaptation of the third Pirates of the Caribbean film. Received mixed reviews but performed adequately as a licensed tie-in, which was the primary goal.

Tron: Evolution (2010)

Released alongside the film Tron: Legacy in December 2010. A third-person action game set in the Grid, serving as a bridge between the original Tron film and Legacy. Mixed reviews but has a following among Tron fans for its visual style and atmosphere.
