Developed by Ubisoft Singapore in collaboration with other Ubisoft studios, Skull and Bones invites you to invest in your destiny, starting from a simple outcast to becoming a big piece among pirates. To do so, you must build your Infamy with exciting naval combat and lucrative expedition to a world full of traitors.

Inspired by the legendary tales of piracy, it will let you experience the real life of pirates. Accept contracts, collect resources to navigate important trade routes, and attack the ships of wealthy merchants; every decision influences your journey, with different levels of risk and rewards. As you grow your Infamy, you'll be able to create and customize your fleet and unlock a host of new items as you go.

The game is inspired by one of the deadliest periods in history, the end of the seventeenth century. Considered the second Golden Age of Piracy, it sets the stage for an era of chaos and no rules. Pirates, rival factions, powerful organizations and empires, all are in search of power in the wild paradise of the Indian Ocean.

Every journey into the Skull and Bones universe will be unique. You can expand your empire by joining forces with 2 friends or players you met in the open sea. For an additional challenge you can enable PVP and test your irons against would-be pirates, powerful organizations, local factions and even rival pirates.

Based on ambitious multi-year post-launch support, the game will be regularly updated with new content, activities, stories and free challenges for all players.
