Skull and Bones

Ubisoft Singapore presents Skull and Bones, a third-person naval combat game where players will build and battle with their own pirate ship. The core gameplay occurs on the ships, where players can continue to upgrade theirs as they battle and loot others across the Indian Ocean. Players can tackle the self-contained single-player campaign or play online in teams of five in multiplayer combat. Battles will culminate in destruction or boarding as players steal items to sell to continue their conquest.
