Predicting Ubisoft’s Major AAA Game Releases of 2019
Skull & Bones
Another fairly obvious candidate to be released throughout this year or the start of next is Ubisoft’s naval combat title, Skull and Bones.
As the name suggests, pretty much the entirety of the game looks set to take place on the high seas, and you’ll be able to try your hand at naval warfare either on your own or with the help of friends. You’ll acquire various different ships and upgrade them to suit your preferred combat style through a deep progression system.
Simply put, if you enjoyed the naval combat in games like Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, and Odyssey, too, you’ll probably be happy enough diving into Skull & Bones.
That being said, we weren’t overly enthralled by the title when we checked it out at E3 last year. Its combat being limited simply to ship battles feel like a missed opportunity when forts on land look so much more enjoyable to take over than simply firing cannons at them turns out to be.
Of course, there’s still plenty of time for Ubisoft to unveil a reworked Skull and Bones that addresses some of our concerns or to include additional content to assuage our fears that the end game is severely lacking. We’d predict this at being an early fall title this year, or perhaps early 2020 depending on the development process.
What we will call, though, is the announcement of another Skull and Bones beta at E3 this year prior to its inevitable release.
