Ubisoft Singapore's Skull and Bones has sought to take pirate action to the next level since it was first announced, and the Helm will help give players a pirate identity to be proud of. Games like Sea of Thieves and Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag have made the pirate experience a mainstay on consoles in the last decade, and the swashbuckling action and ship combat have been embraced by many gamers, so Ubisoft's title has a clear audience.

Skull and Bones got some new trailers at Ubisoft Forward, with combat and the sizable amount of customization being the focus. As fans know, Skull and Bones has been delayed a number of times following its initial reveal at E3 in 2017, supposedly due to various conflicting goals for the game that required major shifts in development. Ubisoft Singapore has been hard at work to correct this, and the Helm could be one of the keys to success.

The vast amount of customization options available with the Helm are what makes the feature so intriguing.
