Ubisoft revealed the game at the Ubisoft Forward event earlier today, with information about the game’s live service format and gameplay, as seen in the video below: Skull and Bones is a pirate game set in the 17th century Indian Ocean. The era is referred to as the “Golden Age of Piracy”, where players start on an island with nothing and work their way to becoming the most feared pirate by destroying other pirates, uncovering treasures and completing contracts. The title was first announced at E3 2017. Ubisoft showed off the title again at E3 2018, saying the game would be ready for a 2019 release. However, this never happened due to development issues and workplace sexual harassment allegations at Ubisoft Singapore. In the aftermath, COVID-19 rocked the video game industry, with delays left and right, and Skull and Bones seemingly bore the brunt. A gameplay video of the upcoming title was leaked in April and showed the game in action. It was shared by Reddit user ‘Wesam_L’ and offered a clear look at the title’s look and feel. The video has since been deleted. Image credit: Ubisoft Source: Ubisoft
