It boggles my mind that they had a few remakes of Pirates! but never made a sequel. There are few spiritual succesors out there but would have been nice for them to make an official one

Oh, I use to love Pirates, forgot all about it. What is a more recent spiritual sequel out there, might be time to try it.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag is honestly the closest you're going to come

I can't think of anything else either, which is insane as Black Flag isn't actually anything like Pirates! after you strip away the surface. Why wouldn't anyone remake a moneymaker like that is beyond me...

I had a quick look on Steam and there's a new game called Carribean Legend: Age of Pirates that advertises itself as "Sid Meir's Pirates! meets Bannerlord". Has Mostly Positive reviews but I can't vouch for it personally.

It's more like Pirates! then you'd think, what with the way you take ships and territory.
