  • Skull & Bones was an opportunity for Ubisoft to create a legacy gaming franchise - to do for pirates what Rockstar Games did for cowboys in Red Dead Redemption 2. Sadly with Skull & Bones not only does X not mark the spot Ubisoft has managed to miss the map entirely...
    Skull & Bones release date is Friday 16th February. It is an action adventure pirate game with online multiplayer and live service elements developed by Ubisoft Singapore for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

    Let us know what you think can you see our vision for Red Dead Pirate or are you happy with the multiplayer game Ubisoft delivered?

      All other games becuase of community never focus on ship just the plunder and land aspects wares the multiple navel combat with multiple players not 3on 3 sea of theives but guild size battles with 10 or 20 player going head to head on see or taking on a world bos that take a server not 3 teams or a solo story boss.

    Skull and Bones got quite fun ship gameplay but that's all it. Endgame is a grindfest for a currency called ''Pieces of eight'' in your so called smuggling empire.
    There is events called Hostile takeover, where you can get a manufactory plant for your empire whitch they produce these Pieces of eight.
    At the end of the season they will reset everything, all the upgrades and whatnot and you have to start grind everything again.
    I really wanted to like this game but meh

      Thanks for the brief overview of the end game that sounds worse than I imagined.
      It's amazing how they over complicate everything trying to make the game addictive and accomplish anything but.
      If it were me I'd start by making an interesting single player game and map then introduce a MP Live Service element "Pirate Fleet" as an end game for clearing the most difficult content in the game with hulking ships.
      See if there's an appetite for more from players before promising grand 10 year plans - and start by getting people invested and immersed in the world first not by trying to maximise grind and revenue

    There's absolutely a market and a dedicated fanbase just waiting for a true open world pirate game! Your video nailed what fans want, and honestly they had well over 7 years since it was announced to create the perfect game. Yes covid came along and screwed things up for everyone and all that but S&B is simply terrible, feels like they rushed and slapped some shit together and not even remotely close to the same level as RDR2 and I really wanted it to be. I'd gladly give you a hundred bucks for that game, but sadly I feel massively cheated by S&B. I'd like a refund lol.

      I don't blame you. I'd be a lot more harsh on Ubisoft if they hadn't done that open beta and at least gave everyone a chance to try it out. As I go over in the vid the previous gameplay trailer is almost deceptive - anyone who bought the game based off that should be rightfully annoyed

    It's a ridiculous and utter disappointment. The ships control on a dime like a knockoff aracde game. It looks fantastic, but how does it even feel im playing a naval battle with these controls?
    Sea of Thieves all the way!

      Arcadey is definitely the right word I can't believe they went with gritty and immersive 😆
      The weight of the ship felt good in Black Flag as did the aiming had some heft and crunch

    How is there a pirate game without swords 😂😂😂. They make assasins creed and watch dogs so can make combat games.
