After scouring the Ubisoft US YouTube channel, we found a video that seemed to confirm their newest game before it was announced at E3 2017.
Skull and Bones, a new multiplayer IP due to be revealed by Ubisoft at E3 2017, will focus on pirates and come in Fall 2018. Ubisoft Singapore are taking on developing duties.
“It is the Golden Age of Piracy. Renegade captains command the most powerful weapons on Earth: warships. You are a pirate captain who has refused the king’s pardon and sailed from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, an untamed frontier full of lavish riches. However, these waters are also a battleground where far-reaching colonial empires, powerful trading corporations, and ruthless pirate gangs clash. In order to survive, you will have to build a lethal fleet, prey upon lucrative trade routes, and ally with other pirates in your endless struggle for supremacy.”
Update: The official trailer has been revealed along with the full announcement:
Here’s a gameplay walkthrough, too. Looks really cool:
