is just about ready to set sail. We got our first proper look at it during today's Ubisoft Forward event, and more importantly we have a release date too: November 8 is when it finally arrives.
Skull and Bones is set in the Indian Ocean at the end of the 17th century, during the so-called Golden Age of Piracy. From humble beginnings at a small pirate outpost, players will set out to build their empires and legends by taking contracts, earning treasure, and expanding their fleets in"visceral, fast-paced, rewarding" PvE and optional PvP combat, according to Ubisoft.
For as long as Ubisoft has been working on Skull and Bones, I'm not entirely convinced it looks fun. It's essentially a spinoff of the naval exploration and combat in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, which came out in 2013, and it shows: I may be spoiled by Sea of Thieves, but the first thing I looked at in the live Skull and Bones gameplay demo I saw was the water, and it just does not compare.
Plundering ports is completed by entering a specific area of water and waiting for a progress bar to fill up, which isn't what I'd call the height of excitement, especially compared to Sea of Thieves, where if you want the treasure you actually have to get off your ship to go get it. And there are no player-controlled crews, either: Each ship in Skull and Bones is controlled by a single player, while crews are made up entirely of NPCs.
The age of pirate games has set sail.. and been lost at sea..just ask sea of thieves and Atlas.
🙌🙌🙌
Excellent. Love the co-op and single player focus. You can keep the pvp.
This is definitely going to be a game of 2022
I was so so excited for this game but it looks like a pretty mobile game... I think I'll stick to sea of thieves. Had so much potential and just threw it all away...
lololololololol
Thank the maker. I’ve been waiting forever
With a release date like that, it really shows that the only people who will play this is obsessed Ubisoft fans high on meth and copium and all 6 Sea of Thieves players
Well, this is gonna be a fail.
I wish they wouldn't sully my birthday by launching this garbage looking game on the same day xD.
Ngl this game looks kinda mid
Rip Skull and Bones
That trailer is AWFUL. JFC. There's zero hype or effort into it at all. Written and narrated by someone quite dead inside / hates their job and just wanted some quick cash. Dead on arrival delivery. Makes me not want to buy it at all.
aceCourtBot2 render
i will pirate this game
No one is going to stay excited for a game for 4 months
Very poor choice of date
Day before God of War....ballsy
