  • Ubisoft Announces Skull & Bones; It's Like Black Flag without the Boring Bits

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]14206[/ATTACH]
    Today, Ubisoft announced Skull & Bones, a game where you are a pirate. It's essentially a multiplayer version of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag without the boring Assassin's Creed part. A drawback, at least for me, is that it seems like it's only going to be a multiplayer game.

    You can sign up now for the beta by visiting the Skull & Bones website. The final game isn't slated to be released until Fall 2018.
    It is the Golden Age of Piracy. A time when renegade captains command the most powerful weapons on Earth, warships. You are an insatiable, upstart pirate captain who refused the King’s pardon. Having nothing to lose, you sailed from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, an exotic and untamed frontier full of lavish riches.

    However, these rich and idyllic waters are also a battleground where far-reaching colonial empires, powerful trading corporations, and ruthless pirate gangs are fiercely competing for their share of these valuable treasures.

    During your journey to become the ultimate pirate kingpin, you will build a fleet of ships you can customize, prey upon lucrative trade routes, and take down rival pirate captains, memorable characters or players. In order to survive in this ruthless ocean, you will have to ally with other pirate captains to form the most influential pirate gang, becoming too big to fail and joining the endless struggle for supremacy of the Indian Ocean.

    Ubisoft released three videos for this today. The videos include a cinematic trailer, a multiplayer and PvP gameplay video, and a "what you need to know" video.

      Awesome concept but bery uninterestingly done. They took away the awesome open world RPG elements and possibilities of AC and of the world of a Pirate Game and dumbed it down to an arena/map style shooter. Meh.

    Skull and Bones Tutorial Leaks Online
    by Shawn Zipay
    This game apparently still exists in some form.

    Narrated footage from the Skull and Bones tutorial leaked online in the very early hours today. The game, based off of the naval combat fans largely enjoyed in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, has seemingly been stuck in development hell for the past six years. The game was last officially shown off at E3 2018.

    Skull and Bones was first revealed at E3 2017, with more footage shown at E3 2018. News about the game fell off...

    Ubisoft's high-seas adventure might finally be taking shape.

    Ubisoft announced Skull and Bones what feels like a lifetime ago at E3 2017. The game began development in 2013, starting first as a spin-off of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag before becoming its own stand-alone experience. Over these past nine years, Ubisoft restarted development several times, delayed the game indefinitely, and exceeded its budget several times over.

    Skull and Bones was expected to be released...
