What Does the End Game in Skull and Bones Look Like?
Skull and Bones is shaping up to be the pirate game–well, that is, if you completely ignore that there is virtually no combat that doesn’t happen while controlling a ship and as far as island exploring, the game relegates that to cutscenes–and if the end game content is great, this game could live on to be the pirate game for years to come.
Why? Skull and Bones is a PvE-PvP naval combat pirate game that will see players working together to take out ships and plunder their loot, or cross swords, or rather cannons, in an attempt to take each other out.
In any games-as-a-service game, which is what Destiny is and what Skull and Bones is shaping up to be, the end game makes or breaks the title. The most motivated players will finish the main game in just a few days. What is Skull and Bones doing to keep those players in its world? In Destiny, those who finish the story mode still have a world of things to discover: crucible matches, raids, loot and more. In this regard, what will Skull and Bones do? During the Ubisoft conference, we were informed of some of the things we can do while playing, but we weren’t necessarily informed of what content is available at this or that point of the game.
While many are enticed by the world of piracy and everything else Skull and Bones has to offer, what this title is going to do in the end game is still a question we have after Ubisoft’s E3 showcase.
