Cap'n Jack Sparrow is setting sail for as part of a new Pirates of the Caribbean downloadable expansion to arrive sometime before the holiday according to a report from site CVG.

Trophies appearing in the LittleBigPlanet list tipped off the report, which was verified by an unnamed representative of Sony. "We're expecting it to launch just before Xmas [sic]," said the source.

While we don't have precise details on what will be included in the download, it's clear from the 11 new trophies what can generally be expected. It appears that 5 new levels will be offered of which a Kraken boss battle looks to be the highlight. Also new will be the ability to create levels with functioning water.

No price has been announced, but we expect a 5.99 USD tag in line with the Premium Level Pack released in December of last year.
