Though its waved goodbye to Halo, Bungie is still hard at work and the first product of its Bungie Aerospace project to work with independent developers will be with us next week. Crimson: Steam Pirates is set to sail onto the iPad for free on September 1. It’s a turn-based strategy title in which you control a crew of steampunk pirates plundering their way around the Caribbean.

The first chapter of Crimson: Steam Pirates will arrive with eight missions and two multiplayer maps along with Bungie.net and Facebook integration. More episodes are set for release but you’ll have to stump up some booty for them. UK pricing hasn’t been released yet but Chapter 2, which is due immediately after the games release, will cost a reasonable $1.99 in the US. Sadly there’s no word on an iPhone version of the game yet.
