Skull and Bones Devstream Reveals 30 Minutes of Gameplay

A lot of fans are excited for Assassin’s Creed to come back to its more narrative-based gameplay, but Ubisoft has another original property that promises to be one big pirate sandbox. Skull and Bones is expected to come out later this year, and we have a new video showcasing 30 minutes of gameplay.

Check this out:

The video essentially gives us a good look at the gameplay options for Skull and Bones from the sailing of the ships to walking around on islands trying to loot and plunder. There are several options for players when it comes to Skull and Bones with the option to choose between playstyles; will you heavily fortify your ships to defend your loot from pirates, or will you make it a fast boat for a swift and speedy escape?

Though a pirate games like Sea of Thieves does come with some sea monsters and mythical beings, Skull and Bones leans more into the realistic side of pirate history, with the fight between the trading companies and the pirates that roam the high seas.

Here’s the official description for Skull and Bones:

Enter the perilous paradise of Skull & Bones, as you overcome the odds and rise from an outcast to become an infamous pirate. Assemble your very own formidable fleet and use it to build your empire in a visceral world that introduces new challenges, stories and features every season. Gather resources, craft tools and weapons, build your ships and grow your infamy. From the Coasts of Africa to the tropical islands of the East Indies, establish your pirate network and build your own empire on your journey to dominate the Indian Ocean.

Skull and Bones is set to launch for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S  this coming March.
