It's starting to appear more likely that Sea Dogs 2 may be gone for good... so did Bethesda and Disney buy the nearly-complete game off of Akella so they could finish it as Pirates of the Caribbean? Who knows. But initial reports are that that's what happened.
The good news is that everything that was going to be in Sea Dogs 2 will be in Pirates of the Caribbean, but will be more polished, and more free-form than SD2 was promising to be. Hopefully, if this is the case, you'll actually be able to create your own character instead of starting with one of two pre-made characters (which is how SD2 was set up).
Check this out... you can no longer read anything about SD2 from the developer's site:

EDIT - also, just noticed, the official Sea Dogs 2 forum (which has been around for four years and had tons of members) is gone. See for yourselves: http://seadogs2.bethsoft.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php
