Skull and Bones Looks Far Too Similar to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag's Naval Gameplay
Back in 2017, Skull and Bones was one of the most anticipated Ubisoft games. However, after years of delays, fans are becoming concerned about the final product. Unfortunately for those that continue to look forward to the Skull and Bones’ release, a recent gameplay leak shows a game that seems to be too similar to Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag. The lack of noticeable changes in the gameplay has many players thinking that the game will just be a copy of Black Flag and will not have the impact or longevity of Ubisoft’s other games.
Skull and Bones is slated to release in either late 2022 or early 2023, and the multiple delays and lack of announcements mean that the game has fallen under the radar for most gamers. The recent Skull and Bones gameplay leak, however, prompted developers, Ubisoft Singapore, to announce that new footage and news about the game will release soon. However, the gameplay leak shows a game with a lack of depth and world exploration elements, two things that made series like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry so popular. The biggest disappointment, however, is just how much inspiration the game took from Black Flag since the naval gameplay looks like an exact copy.

Black Flag had great naval gameplay, some of the best that has ever been seen, but following the announcement of Skull and Bones, many fans hoped that the developers would add in features to help the game stand on its own.
