Ubisoft Announces New Pirate Title, Skull and Bones; New Cinematic and Gameplay Trailer Released

June 12, 2017 by Jordan Biazzo

That was out of left field!

One of Ubisoft’s biggest surprises from their E3 2017 press conference was their new pirate game – Skull and Bones.

The game is heavily influenced from the naval combat in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, but it is more unique than meets the eye. Players will scour the sea for treasure, compete in online matches, and climb the ranks to become one of the most infamous pirates of all time.

Watch the new cinematic announcement trailer dowd below:

ABOUT Skull and Bones:

It is the Golden Age of Piracy. Renegade captains command the most powerful weapons on Earth: warships. You are a pirate captain who has refused the king’s pardon and sailed from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, an untamed frontier full of lavish riches. However, these waters are also a battleground where far-reaching colonial empires, powerful trading corporations, and ruthless pirate gangs clash. In order to survive, you will have to build a lethal fleet, prey upon lucrative trade routes, and ally with other pirates in your endless struggle for supremacy.

Dominate a Dangerous Open Ocean:
A shared open world that reacts as you plunder rich trade routes

Customize Your Pirate Experience:
Choose your captain, recruit your crew and build deadly ships

Naval Combat Redefined:
Use your weapons, spyglass and even the wind to stalk and destroy your prey

Play Solo or Coop:
Raid the Hunting Grounds alone or group with other players to hunt larger prey

Explosive Multiplayer:
Enter the Disputed Waters and fight for supremacy in a variety of game modes

Ubisoft also demoed the game on stage giving players a little glimpse of what they can expect from the game. Down below, viewers can see an intense online PvP between, two rival gangs, check it out:
