The hits keep coming from this year’s E3, and Ubisoft has just laid down another great title. Skull and Bones is an open world(sea?) naval combat game that looks absolutely incredibly. Set in the Golden Age of Piracy, players will assume the role of 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.”

Players will take to the high seas of the Indian Ocean, hellbent on reigning supreme in the open world of Skull and Bones. Featuring a plethora of game modes, this title is sure to be a hit among those who enjoy some good old fashioned warshippin‘. To get the full ambiance of the game, check out the announce trailer below, which is followed by a list of the game modes that will be playable:
