During today’s Ubisoft E3 press conference, Ubisoft Singapore revealed Skull & Bones, a multiplayer naval combat game in the vein of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
The game features multiple PvP modes, and challenges players to become the most infamous of all the pirates in the world.
The features of Skull & Bones, via Ubisoft:
It is the Golden Age of Piracy. Renegade captains command the most powerful weapons on Earth: warships. You are a pirate captain who has refused the king’s pardon and sailed from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, an untamed frontier full of lavish riches. However, these waters are also a battleground where far-reaching colonial empires, powerful trading corporations, and ruthless pirate gangs clash. In order to survive, you will have to build a lethal fleet, prey upon lucrative trade routes, and ally with other pirates in your endless struggle for supremacy.
Dominate a Dangerous Open Ocean:
A shared open world that reacts as you plunder rich trade routesCustomize Your Pirate Experience:
Choose your captain, recruit your crew and build deadly shipsNaval Combat Redefined:
Use your weapons, spyglass and even the wind to stalk and destroy your preyPlay Solo or Coop:
Raid the Hunting Grounds alone or group with other players to hunt larger preyExplosive Multiplayer:
Enter the Disputed Waters and fight for supremacy in a variety of game modes
Skull & Bones launches Fall 2018 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

June 12, 2017 at 5:01 pmAssassin’s Creed IV without the Assassin’s Creed parts should be pretty nice. I hope the shared world MP stuff isn’t forced on you though.

June 12, 2017 at 5:08 pmGeeze, they really butchered Crazy by Mushroomhead.
Makes me already wary despite how much I loved sailing in Rogue and Black Flag.

June 12, 2017 at 5:32 pmWait. So is there NO single-player component at all? It’s just multiplayer?

June 12, 2017 at 5:55 pmThere should be some. From the article:
“Play Solo or Coop:
Raid the Hunting Grounds alone or group with other players to hunt larger prey”

June 13, 2017 at 11:53 pmSo an online sailing pvp game with possible craken co-op or story story? I’m interested though I don’t know about my friends considering the theme and I would need some considering how team oriented this looks.
