Portobelo is a port city in Colón Province, Panama.
History
Once an administrative center of the excavation of both silver and gold, Portobelo was known for its wealth and natural harbor. But during the Golden Age of Piracy, the city was turned into a pirate headquarters. Using explosives to gain access to the city, the pirates plundered the city, turned its port into a ship repair center and used the colonial fortifications for protection for loot and cargo.[1]
In 2013, Portobelo was used as a simulated location created by Abstergo Industries' entertainment branch, for the console stage of their Animus technology.[1]
The simulation depicted Portobelo as a luxurious estate in a dilapidated condition. The household consisted out of multiple rooms, all with signs of being ransacked and plundered. Throughout the whole estate the looting could be noticed, in the large ballrooms where goods were stacked and the dinner room was robbed of any worth. The courtyard in the center of the building was also affected, as the plants were completely overgrown.[1]
With the implementation of new technology, simulated locations in the console stage were upgraded to have multiple aesthetic variations, as well as dynamic weather. Because of this, Portobelo could be utilized during the day, the night, or amidst rain.[1]
Trivia
- During development, Portobelo was referred to as Pirate HQ.[2]
