After many years of development and countless delays, Skull and Bones has finally arrived.

While the main danger you’ll face in the game are other ships, the ocean itself can also send you down to Davy Jones’ locker. While exploring the open ocean area in the middle of Skull and Bones large Indian Ocean map, the seas will often get rough, and occasionally serve up a particularly large “rogue wave,” which can immediately sink your boat if you don’t handle it correctly. This can be a bit panic-inducing, and you’ll probably go down the first time you encounter one, but […]

Skull and Bones – Currency Guide, from Silver, to Gold, to Monstrous Teeth

After many years of development and countless delays, Skull and Bones has finally arrived. Ubisoft’s new open-world pirate game is very much a live service exercise, which means the game features a somewhat baffling array of different currencies – no less than six of them.

Skull and Bones Review – Serviceable Swashbuckling

Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones has been on a very long and choppy voyage with development reportedly setting sail over a decade ago. Admittedly, the initial pitch was a fairly appealing one – an open-world multiplayer pirate adventure from the same Ubisoft Singapore team that worked on the naval battles from the acclaimed Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Unfortunately, the game’s 2017 reveal was followed by reboots, damning behind-the-scenes reports, and a seemingly endless sequence of delays. Many began to suspect the game would eventually sail over the horizon, never to be seen again, but lo-and-behold, Skull and Bones finally drifted […]

Assassin’s Creed Red to Drop Before April 2025, Ubisoft Planning Around GTA VI Later in 2025

Ubisoft has reported their earnings for the third quarter of their fiscal year 2024 (which runs from the beginning of April 2023 to the end of March 2024) and things are looking somewhat up for the Assassin’s Creed publisher following rough patches over the last few years. With revenue of €606 million, Q3 was down a bit year-on-year, likely due to somewhat disappointing performance of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, but Ubisoft is expecting a good Q4 due to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Skull and Bones with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot somewhat questionably referring to the latter as […]
