First announced in 2017, Ubisoft's epic pirate title Skull & Bones has been delayed multiple times. Here's everything we've learned about the anticipated game.
Ubisoft has a few notoriously troubled games in development that have left fans scratching their heads for years now. Aside from Beyond Good and Evil 2, the most curious game that has managed to avoid cancellation despite years of delays, restarts, and who knows what else behind the scenes is the pirate game Skull and Bones. It was first announced in 2017, and we’ve gotten almost nothing but bad news regarding this title in the years since.
Considering the game has supposedly passed $120 million in development costs, Ubisoft likely won’t let this ship sink.Platforms When originally announced, Skull and Bones was said to be launching on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Naturally, things have changed with current-generation consoles on the market, and Skull and Bones has fully shifted to current-gen only. This means you will need a PS5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC to play.
We finally got an official look at Skull and Bones via a dedicated Ubisoft Forward. In it, we do get an idea of what plot there will be. Based on the narration, it seems like there will be some sort of reputation or wanted system as well, where larger, more dangerous ships may track you down if you pillage and sink enough other ships. This is where the multiplayer component is shown off — you can request help in bringing down or just surviving these massive ships attacking you. Of course, as the trailer is quick to point out, pirate alliances are fleeting when loot is on the line, and any ally can just as easily turn into a foe.
In the official gameplay reveal, we learned about many natural dangers, including animals like hippos and crocodiles, plus storms and even pirate hunters. Your own crew can even turn against you.
