Skull and Bones – that elusive pirate sailing game from Ubisoft that you’ll remember made a big splash (sorry) at E3 2017 – is finally starting to take shape, and the developer/publisher of the game has said that the game will get fresh new content over the coming months and “many years to come.”
The core gameplay loop in Skull and Bones, as we’ve seen in new trailers and videos released by Ubisoft today, will see you sailing the Indian Ocean, raiding and pillaging in order to grow your crew, build bigger and better boats, and put a sizeable dent in the trading routes and Privateer vessels that think they’re the rulers of the water.
Though the game can be played solo, the Ubisoft team sees it more as a “live multiplayer” experience – and that seems to be shaping how the developer will approach post-launch content. In a media briefing, quest director Terry Han noted that Skull and Bones will see “in-game events [like] bigger, deadlier challenges, cosmetics and more” come after launch, and will be free for all players.”
