The development of Skull and Bones faced several issues, allegedly linked to government subsidies requiring its release.
The game sets players on high-seas adventures, emphasizing multiplayer gameplay where players aim to expand their ships and build notorious reputations as pirates. Skull and Bones, announced in 2017, will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Amazon Luna, featuring cross-play capabilities.
Fans are eagerly anticipating this pirate-themed game, hoping that the additional time taken will translate into a polished and immersive gaming experience. The community looks forward to building their pirate legacy across multiple platforms with the integration of cross-play.
