SKULL AND BONES (2024) RELEASE DATE, GAMEPLAY, BETA AND LATEST NEWS

SKULL AD BONE game finally releasing on 16 February 2024 i.e. on friday on this week, after years of delay and major changes to the gam’es core focus

Skull and Bones is an action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Singapore and it is published by Ubisoft. The game was released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Amazon Luna, and Microsoft Windows. A version for Google Stadia was planned before the service’s shutdown. 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.

Skull and Bones was maked as a Tactical Action game set in an open world environment and played from a Third Person Perspective. Players take control of a cutsomizble pirate Ship, and may choose to sail the Indian ocean on a single player campaign, or gather up to five other players to ally in player V/s Player gameplay in high tides waves.

When Skull and Bones was first revealed it was more akin to Rainbow Six Siege than it appears now. The game was a small team PvP game where each player took on the role of ship, kitted it out with specialised guns and armor, and then the two teams would blast each other to splinters with their cannons and muskets.

That’s all changed, or at least it’s no longer the focus. Now, Skull and Bones is an action RPG game first. You start life as a shipwrecked pirate. You have to scout out resources to build a tiny, practically defenceless sailing vessel, and from those humble beginnings you will raise yourself up to become a pirate lord.

The best way to earn money, equipment, and blueprints is to take on contracts. These jobs will see you hunting down bounties, assaulting towns, or seeking out long lost treasure. The contracts you have access to are determined by your ‘infamy’ and completing contracts will also help your raise your infamy level. While you can buy gear and ships with the booty you pick up, Skull and Bones lets you craft equipment to fit out your schooner.

As you roam the seven seas of Skull and Bones, you’ll discover blueprints. These may be rewards for completing contracts or hidden away at the bottom of treasure chests. They will be essential for the game’s crafting. With blueprints and resources you find in the world, either from scavenging shipwrecks, harvesting natural resources, or hunting animals in the sea, you can build entirely new ships, create new weapons and armor, and upgrade all of the fittings on your ship.

There will be multiple ship types in Skull and Bones, each with significant strengths and weaknesses. The three kinds Ubisoft confirmed in the Ubisoft Forward were Cargo Ships, Navigation Ships, and Firepower Ships. There may be more types we’ve yet to see, but as well as these categories, we know there are multiple hulls of each type, so there will be lots of opportunities to find the perfect ship for your playstyle.
