Ubisoft has announced that it plans to launch its open-world pirate multiplayer game Skull and Bones on 8 November 2022. The game will feature survival elements and will be available with cross-play and cross-progression on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Store.
Developed by Ubisoft Singapore and other Ubisoft studios, Skull and Bones invites you to chart your own destiny and rise from an outcast to become a pirate kingpin. To do this, you will need to build your Infamy through thrilling naval combat and rewarding expeditions in a treacherous world.
Watch the Skull and Bones trailer below:
The game is inspired by the legendary tales around piracy, where you will get to experience authentic pirate life. From accepting all sorts of contracts, and gathering resources, to navigating important trade routes, and attacking other wealthy merchant ships, each decision will influence your journey, with varying levels of risk and reward.
As you grow your Infamy, you will be able to craft and fully customize your naval fleet and unlock a variety of new items throughout the game.
Taking inspiration from one of the deadliest periods in history- the end of the 17th century. The era is considered to be the second Golden Age of Piracy that set the stage for a chaotic and ruthless era of pirates, warring factions, powerful organizations, and empires all vying for power in an untamed paradise of the Indian Ocean.
Every journey in Skull and Bones is going to be unique. Players can expand their empire by joining forces with up to 2 other friends or players they encounter out at sea. For an additional challenge, they can enable PVP and test their iron against aspiring kingpins, powerful organizations, local factions, or even rival pirates.
Building on an ambitious, multi-year post-launch plan, the game will be regularly updated with new content, activities, stories and challenges that will be free for all players.
When the game launches, it will be available in two editions: Standard and Premium on all platforms. The Premium Edition will include “The Ballad of Bloody Bones Collection”, including a range of cosmetics items for both Captain and Ships, and additional digital content, including two extra missions, a digital Art Book and Soundtrack as well as a “Smuggler Pass” Token.
Fans who pre-order Skull and Bones will get access to the “Highness of the High Sea Pack” which includes the “Notoriety Garb Captain Outfit” and “Coronation Firework”.
