E3 2017 saw the announcement of Ubisoft Singapore\u2019s upcoming game Skull and Bones<\/em><\/strong>. Though the game has been delayed a few times, the developer is still hard at work creating and fine-turning its vision for the game. Gameplay that\u2019s been revealed so far introduced prospective players to a multiplayer mode that focuses on naval combat coupled with stunning graphics. However, many fans realized that, from what was previewed, Skull and Bones<\/em><\/a> could be a very one-note game.<\/p>\n

All hope is not lost for this upcoming release, as a statement from Ubisoft Singapore back in September shed a bit of insight into the development process of the game. The developer stated that a \u201cnew vision\u201d emerged for Skull and Bones<\/em>, causing the developer to recruit fresh eyes for the project and reimagining a few different aspects of the game. While delays can sometimes negatively affect the outcome of a game, Skull and Bones<\/em>\u2019 delay may work to its advantage to help the game deliver on its promise of a pirate\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

From Skull and Bones<\/em>\u2019 somewhat lackluster gameplay reveal<\/a>, potential players learned a few different things about the game as it was then. The player character, a pirate captain, is customizable, as well as the ship. Beyond cosmetics, there were different types of ships available with different skill sets to fit whatever the player was trying to accomplish when they went out to sea. There wasn\u2019t much revealed about the single-player campaign, and Skull and Bones<\/em> seemed to have a heavy focus on multiplayer gameplay.<\/p>\n

All of that in itself seemed exciting, especially because the game was beautifully rendered, but graphics can only save a game<\/a> so much. It was later revealed that the game would be played solely from the ship, meaning players couldn\u2019t leave their vessel, even to raid other ships. Overall, it seemed the game was turning into a \u201cCall of Duty with ships,\u201d rather than an accurate depiction of the swashbuckling adventures that come with piracy. Exploration and a keen focus on collecting and spending gold are all inherent parts of a pirate\u2019s life, which Skull and Bones<\/em> seemed to forget entirely.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft Singapore helped in the development of Assassin\u2019s Creed 4: Black Flag<\/em>, the inspiration behind Skull and Bones<\/em><\/a>, so it\u2019s not too optimistic to say the developer can still deliver on its pirate adventure promise. Black Flag<\/em>\u2019s naval battle mechanics were pretty good for its time, so fine-tuning and enhancing this gameplay was a good start when Skull and Bones<\/em> was first revealed. However, piracy is about so much more than simply sailing ships and getting into combat.<\/p>\n

Exploration of both the land and sea is one of the first changes the game should implement as part of this vision, as it\u2019ll allow players to experience the duality of a pirate\u2019s life\u2014one that\u2019s lived on both sea and land<\/a>. Having a well-thought-out, in-depth single-player campaign will also go a long way as well. Previously, the developer said that the game would be full of memorable pirate characters, but this was understandably hard to envision when the player spends the entire game ship-locked. It would be nice to see the promise of an intriguing, fun narrative campaign be fulfilled as well.<\/p>\n

Entertainment media is entitled to change the historical accuracy of things when it suits the narrative being told, but it doesn\u2019t seem right that Skull and Bones<\/em><\/a> advertised \u201cno honor among thieves\u201d in its 2018 E3 gameplay reveal when pirates did abide by a code. These codes tended to vary from captain to captain, and while it\u2019s true pirates do tend to look out for themselves first, if they entered an alliance with other pirate ships (as the gameplay trailer depicted), it seems unrealistic to turn on one another immediately, at least from a single-player narrative standpoint. Multiplayer, on the other hand, should probably be a free-for-all.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been no update on Skull and Bones<\/em> since September<\/a> 2020, but the game isn\u2019t down and out yet. Hopefully, this \u201cnew vision\u201d will pull together these pirate staples, and more, to give players a well-rounded game that really captures the adventure of a pirate\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Skull and Bones<\/em><\/strong> is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
