Skull and Bones

Skull and Bones is a new video game coming out in February 2024. It was made by Ubisoft Singapore and published by Ubisoft. You can play it on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Amazon Luna, or a computer with Windows.

The game is set in a time when pirates ruled the seas. It’s not exactly like history, though. It’s more like a fantasy version of the late 17th century, better known as the Golden Age of Piracy. You can become a pirate, take a ship out to sea, battle other ships, and search for treasure.

You can play Skull and Bones alone or with friends. The developers made this game using an engine called Ubisoft Anvil, which makes the game look very cool and realistic.

The game was also supposed to be released on Google Stadia, but due to the shutdown of Google Stadia, the game was not released. So if you like adventure games and you like pirates and naval battles, keep an eye out for the release of Skull & Bones!

Skull and bone development

Skull & Bones began its journey as Ubisoft Singapore’s first project in 2013, inspired by the naval battles in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Initially conceived as an expansion to Black Flag and later an MMO spin-off called Black Flag Infinite, it evolved into a standalone project due to technical limitations.

There were significant hurdles during development, including a change in setting from the Caribbean to Hyperborea, before finally being set in the Indian Ocean. The gameplay was revised several times, with the focus shifting from naval exploration to land-based survival elements influenced by games like Rust. Budgetary issues and management challenges plagued the project, which cost more than $120 million.

Skull & Bones was announced at E3 2017, and subsequently experienced a series of delays, with the game originally set to be released in 2018. A “new vision” emerged in September 2020, which led to further extensions to the development timeline and attracted the involvement of other studios such as Ubisoft Berlin. Despite subsequent delays, including a closed beta in August 2023, the game’s release date was finally set for February 16, 2024, after a series of rescheduled release dates.
