SKULL & BONES
UBISOFT E3 2017 BEST GAMES
Pirates are totally in right now, and Ubisoft is capitalizing on it with new a IP titled Skull & Bones that looks similar to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag but minus the assassin stuff and doubling down on swashbuckling adventures.
The ship combat looked very similar to Black Flag, but with the ability to battle friends or head out on your own across the Indian Ocean. There are a selection of ships to choose from, all with their own playoffs relating to traits like speed, damage, or strength. In all, it’s probably best to just choose the one with the most canons hanging off the side.
During the conference it was stated that Skull & Bones has a world that reacts to the actions you do within it, but it was never really expanded upon by what that meant. It ended off with some footage of what appeared to be a Kraken attacking a ship, suggesting other foes other than just pirates lie restless in the waters.
With a Fall 2018 release date, there’s still a ways off before players can get their hands on it. When it does release, it’s coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
