Skull and Bones is the lost-gestating live-service pirate sim from Ubisoft Singapore, that finally got its 2022 unveiling ahead of its release later this year. It feels pretty weird to even have a release date in sight after so many delays and reported internal reboots, but it looks like all sails are raised this time around.
With that being said, we got a pretty decent look at the game ahead of that November release, including a ton of info on all the fun pirate shenanigans you’ll be getting up to as you take to the high seas.
To save you the hassle of perusing the internet for drabs of information, we’ve uncovered a treasure trove of facts over on the Push Square YouTube channel. Head over there for an informative 31 facts about the game, which cover everything from editions to gameplay features.
We’ve been waiting for an expansive sea-fairing adventure like Skull and Bones for quite some time, especially over here on the lands of PlayStation (here’s looking at you Sea of Thieves). We are hoping that the game will capture the magic of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, which delivered a surprisingly robust pirate experience all the way back in 2013. However, it will be interesting to see how successfully Ubisoft is able to implement those live service elements into it all.
Have a watch of the video and let us know what you are thinking down below. Is Skull and Bones looking like it will be worth the wait? Or has its ship of opportunity long since sailed?

Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag fullfiled my zero pirate ambitions for the rest of my life...
Anyway... I think this Skull and Bones is long forgotten as Lineage II, only hardcore fans have interest. Amomg hunderets of gamers I've met only one person, who knew what is going about.
I wish all the video materials on PushSquare were accompanied by a full text version. Even though videos are a great source of content, I usually come here to read and not to watch
I can't say I 've seen anything that would make me want to play this over sea of Thieves to be honest, I think they've missed the boat with this one
Anyone fancy listing them so we don’t have to watch the video?
I didn't need to know any of this, you lied to me!
It's an always online title, please don't spread any news about this, there is 0 reason to be hyped for this game when the servers will go down whenever ubisoft wishes and render the game completely unplayable forever. It's also 80 euros which makes it even more egregious.
Gonna watch this latter. Know just about nothing about the game. Sid Meier's Pirates on xbox is one of my favourite games ever though so if it's anything like that I'd be stoked.
Edit: huh. It's definitely an Ubisoft game. Looks like a hard pass unless it's recieved amazingly at release. I'm not holding my breath...
Full price, live service, Ubisoft game? As much as I like the whole Pirate thing I think I'll pass.
I've never seen so many YouTube adverts for one game. EVERY advert for me at the moment is Skull & Bones. Looks pretty average to me, like not a lot has changes since Black Flag's ship combat, which was always just OK. Will wait for reviews.

@Tomato_Goose same haha
@NEStalgia hahahaha
@Dudditz09 it really needs to be f2p
Live service I'm immediately out.
I think there’s a definite gap in the market for a AAA pirate game series which unfortunately we’ve never seen. This won’t be it though. Solo player, offline and campaign based please. None of this live service crapola
I have zero interest in this game now, hard pass from me.
@OthmaneAD it will be on PS Plus fairly quickly anyway I imagine.
