Skull and Bones Finally Sets Sail After Nine Years Of Development

After nearly a decade in development, Skull and Bones has finally launched to a mixed but curious reception. The naval combat game puts players in the role of an upstart pirate captain building their reputation across the Indian Ocean. While the game's troubled development history raised concerns, the final product delivers satisfying ship-to-ship combat and a compelling gameplay loop of plunder and progression. Critics note that the game works best as a multiplayer experience, with solo players finding the grind more tedious. Ubisoft has committed to extensive post-launch support.
