Skull and Bones gameplay reveal: Greek fire, gaining infamy, and ruling the Indian Ocean await players later this year
During the latest Ubisoft Forward on July 7, the company showed off some never-before-seen gameplay for its upcoming multiplayer pirate title, Skull and Bones. The preshow featured a master craftsman carving a figure of a female pirate out of wood to use as a nautical figurehead in stunning detail. But the real main event was the premiere itself, where fans got a good look at what to expect in the future.
The showcase revealed a trailer not only of the gameplay but also the story of Skull and Bones, of a poor man making a new life for himself by boarding a pirate vessel. Visually stunning, the boat was seen being thrown around in a huge storm. The player finds themselves in a foreign land with nothing but the determination to survive.
Prospective pirates start off in Saint-Anne, one of the pirate dens in the game.
Before the actual gameplay went down, fans got to meet some of the developers of Skull and Bones that are a part of Ubisoft Singapore. The team seemed very excited to show off the game as Ubisoft Singapore’s first AAA game. It’s also a massive project, and no one could wait to show off the game.
The launch date of Skull and Bones was officially confirmed for November 8, 2022. The game also has a new direction, with a darker, grittier, more realistic pirate fantasy. It takes inspiration from the golden age of pirates, where they would do whatever it took to survive.
The world of pirates is a ruthless one where there are dangers around every corner, including animals, pirate hunters, corporations, the elements of nature, and even mutiny. After all, the people that make up the crew of a player’s ship are just as hungry for infamy. If the conditions on the ship are poor, the threat of mutiny becomes very real.
