Sea monsters and cannons

[ukebec]

Edward and Jack - Isla Tormenta is one of the most challenging areas in the game. You really have to be a high level pirate, or have a raiding party with you that has exceptional healing skills, to make a successful foray to Tormenta.

Yes, Davy Jones' crew do inhabit Tormenta, however since he's not currently in the game I don't think it necessarily follows that Davy Jones himself must be introduced into the game in order to introduce the Kraken. The game does not parrallel the movies as evidenced by Jolly Roger who has not made an appearance in any of the movies, nor the original Disney ride.

The developers are free to introduce the Kraken at their leisure.

There was a Kraken in the beta testing (disputed), and the Kraken is featured in the game trailers. So I think it is a safe bet that the Kraken has been in the planning from day one, most likely as the second story chapter. At least, that's my HO.
