Developer and publisher Ubisoft held a lengthy presentation dedicated to the pirate-themed Action Skull and Bones, coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Google Stadia and PC on November 8.
At the end of the 17th century, tales of a legendary heist attracted young outcasts from all over the world. In search of untold fortunes, ordinary men and women headed far from home. Armed with only their instincts to survive, they risked it all for a chance to attain immeasurable riches.
Enter the perilous paradise of Skull and Bones, inspired by the Indian Ocean during the Golden Age of Piracy, as you overcome the odds and rise from an outcast to an infamous pirate. Craft a variety of unique ships to survive, thrive, and rule in an immersive world that introduces new challenges and features every season.
- As you grow your infamy by completing contracts , you’ll gain access to more resources and opportunities on your journey;
- Skull and Bones will let players engage in thrilling naval battles: equip a multitude of powerful weapons and armors to outgun other ships, attack settlements, and rain terror on enemy forts;
- Craft & sail a variety of ships, each with their own unique perks and look. Adapt them to serve your purpose and become a force of destruction out at sea;
- It is up to players to choose how to play: either PvE only or PvEvP;
- Sail the Indian Ocean solo or in groups of up to three. Rule the seas with your friends and or with other pirates you encounter.
