This Emmy-nominated, multi-award-winning VR experience from Singer Studios has become a #1 best-selling title in China, captivating audiences across the globe with its bold storytelling and cinematic scope.

Created and directed by Eloise Singer, and starring Lucy Liu and Orion Lee, The Pirate Queen brings to life the lost history of Cheng Shih through detailed research and visionary storytelling.

Following its world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival, where it won the Storyscapes Award, and its Discovery Award win at Raindance, the experience was hailed by critics as “remarkable,” “captivating,” and “a VR masterpiece.”

Supported by Meta and the BFI, it went on to earn both Emmy and PGA nominations — establishing the foundation for a rapidly growing global franchise now expanding into multiple mediums.

  • “The Pirate Queen is the exact kind of immersive history that makes VR so special.”

    — Ezekiel Hall, FandomWire

  • “A Thrilling Journey.”

    — Xintian Wang,  Asam News

  • “Epic VR experience.”

    — Chris Castellino, Cheddar

  • “A Legend Worth Telling.”

    — Philip Watson, CGMagazine

When her husband dies at sea, a young Cheng Shih must outwit rival captains to hold the Red Flag Fleet together — to secure her place as its true leader.

Voiced by Lucy Liu, this narrative-driven experience invites you to step into the boots of infamous 19th century pirate, Cheng Shih.

Over the past 5 years, the studio has worked closely with academics, researchers and sensitivity checkers to create historically accurate environments and a narrative inspired by real events.

The team’s extensive research included a deep exploration of British–Chinese relations during the Qing Dynasty, grounding the story in history while maintaining cinematic scope.

This commitment to authenticity and worldbuilding has positioned The Pirate Queen as a benchmark title in immersive media.

  • “The art direction beautifully sets up the scene and atmosphere, as you climb up the rigging on these gigantic 19th century ships and explore dusty scrolls in moonlit cabins.”

    — Dan Rockwood,  TechRaptor

  • “Inside Cheng Shih’s cabin, I lit a joss stick and placed it in an incense holder — an action I repeated every week at my grandfather’s altar when I was growing up. It felt so realistic that I tried to wave the joss stick to put out the flame and could almost smell the smoke.”

The Pirate Queen Franchise

Following its overnight success as a #1 bestselling title in China, the Emmy-nominated story continues to expand across new mediums.

Created by Singer Studios, and executive produced by Lucy Liu and Eloise Singer, The Pirate Queen universe is set to grow into a graphic novel co-written by Liu and Singer, an animated television series, podcast, and future game spin-offs.

With its critical acclaim and rapidly growing audience, The Pirate Queen is evolving into a global franchise — celebrating bold storytelling and the legacy of a woman who changed history.

  • “Take a moment to listen to Lucy Liu’s brilliant narration of the tale. If you do, I promise you will learn something you’ve never known.”

    — Nick Sutrich,  Android Central

“It is clear that The Pirate Queen was not just a job to them, but a way to inspire empowerment in others and promote women in a noticeably male-dominated industry.”

— Ezekiel Hall, FandomWire

The Pirate Queen “focuses entirely on the female lead and her struggles, creating a ‘whole new genre’ for pirates in the entertainment space.”

— Nick Sutrich,  Android Central
