Skull and Bones! Ubisoft's pirate sim wasn't great when I tried it: A hodge-podge of not particularly thrilling systems that were anyway obscured by all sorts of live-service stuff. Our Shaun Prescott scored it 68% in his Skull and Bones review, while Tyler Wilde found that it just made him really want to see what was going on in Sea of Thieves. Not glowing recommendations, in general.

And yet, to its credit, Ubisoft keeps trying. In the wake of a free week and the game's second season, the company has announced that Skull and Bones will finally be making the long voyage over to Steam, where it'll launch on August 22. The Steam page is live now, in case you'd like to go and marvel at it.

Skull and Bones is setting sail on Steam on August 22! Get ready to navigate the ruthless high seas, engage in brutal naval battles, and build your own empire. Wishlist Now!

Strategy Nintendo Civilization 7 In-Game Narrator Revealed — and the Game of Thrones Line of Succession Continues

Civilization fans will know the in-game narrator plays a huge part in the strategy series. For a start, you hear their voice a lot as they impart wisdom about humanity itself throughout the course of the game. And the Civilization games have had some high-profile actors play the role over the years. The late and great Star Trek legend Leonard Nimoy voiced Civilization 4, William Morgan Sheppard voiced Civilization 5, and Ned Stark himself, Sean Bean, voiced Civilization 6.
