Skull & Bones



Skull and Bones is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Singapore and published by Ubisoft. The game is set to be released in February 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Amazon Luna, and Microsoft Windows. A version for Google Stadia was planned before the service's shutdown.[2] The game revolves around piracy and naval warfare with a fantastical setting in East Africa and Southeast Asia during the late 17th century, the peak of the historical Golden Age of Piracy.

Re: Skull & Bones

Tons of mixed reviews on the Beta so far.

Most people have simply called it boring.

For me, it's another one that's fun with friends, and I'll never play it without them unless they add a lot of content.

Re: Skull & Bones

Played some last night since I have Uplay+ and the full version released already for the premium edition. Game is alright. Remind me of Black Flag without boarding and hand to hand combat. I don't get why so many people call it boring. It is a pirate game, what are they expecting ? You can play solo, co-op and PVP if you want to.

Re: Skull & Bones

Man I ran into a monster in the northern part of the map. Look like a giant gator. Destroyed my ship and I lost all my loot. Every time I tried to go back to the area to recover my loot, one hit and I was destroyed again. Going to avoid that area for a while LOL. Having a blast with this game.

Re: Skull & Bones

So I was pretty much at the coast of the West Indies when an escort mission popped up. I agreed to it, not realizing it would take me back across the other side of the map like 13,000 miles away. Half of that was during a bad storm with rogue waves which traveling very slow. Anyway we are at the shoreline, about 100ft away, but the entrance to the dock is narrow with many mountains on both sides of it and there is this ship just parked right in the entrance not moving. So I am thinking let me slide around it and maybe the ship that I am escorting will slide behind me.

Well a gust of wind kicked up and sent me crashing into the park ship, boom, ship think I attacked it and now is attacking me, escort mission over. I was so pissed. Killed that little ship and the ship I escorted it. I was thinking I didn't do all this not to get paid, somebody going to pay me one way or another. This game is blast. I opened up the black market, running rum all over, fun times.

Re: Skull & Bones

Still enjoying it? It's something I want to pick up eventually, I'm just tied up with other games at the moment. I always enjoyed the betas when I participated in them even if it didn't approach the genre the way I was hoping it would.

Re: Skull & Bones

Oh I love it. The storyline is actually pretty decent. Some might hate the grind and hate there is no hand to hand combat. For me though, I like the simplistic approach of you are a pirate and all pirate related things is kept at sea on the boat.

I think some people were just expecting PVP all over the map. I am glad it isn't that way and there is an actual storyline with plenty of side quests.
