Ubisoft has just announced a new IP that was inspired by the pirate setting of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, Skull & Bones. In Skull & Bones, 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.
Here are the game’s key features:
- Dominate a Dangerous Open Ocean:
A shared open world that reacts as you plunder rich trade routes - Customize Your Pirate Experience:
Choose your captain, recruit your crew and build deadly ships - Naval Combat Redefined:
Use your weapons, spyglass and even the wind to stalk and destroy your prey - Play Solo or Coop:
Raid the Hunting Grounds alone or group with other players to hunt larger prey - Explosive Multiplayer:
Enter the Disputed Waters and fight for supremacy in a variety of game modes
Skull & Bones is currently planned for an Fall 2018 release.
Enjoy!

AC: Black flag 2.0 -.-‘
too bad no story mode.
The only semi-interesting thing to come out of this entire presentation so far & I even have my doubts about its success.
Sure, Black Flag had great naval combat, but can it really succeed as not just its own game, but also as Black Flag: The Crew?
I’m calling it right this instance:
If this is another POS peer-2-peer garbage, Ubis#°t can shove skull & bones up their a§§
for honor all over again
i dont like pirates so to me this is meeeeeh. My main sisue with black flag was that its not an adventure, it was soo BOORING. This mp focused game seems ot be the same not only in setting but the way it looks and plays. MEH.
another online bulls**t game
Dammit why can’t we just have an open world naval combat game? Skyrim on the high sea that’s what i want! I hope they take this into single player areas.
Because the other seas have to be bundled up into the Season Pass & deployed to you piece-meal behind delightful paywalls.
Otherwise, it just wouldn’t be a modern-day AAA game.
yeah 🙁 guess we have all been sting by the ubi (u”bee”) soft bee one two many times.
What’s up with Ubisoft and their obsession with online multiplayer games?For once I would like them to go back and actually make decent single player games again.
Here’s hoping AC origins and Far Cry 5 don’t disappoint.
they tend to sell better nowadays. i mean the top 10 played games on steam right now are all online multiplayer
A game about pirates but take online multiplayer route so it can’t be pirated..smh
