Skull and bones has set sail but does not seem to hit the marks. I feel that the game would have done better if it launched quickly during the height of Pirate Fever with Jack Sparrow and Pirates of the Carribean.

Ubisoft owns Assassin Creed Black Flag also was riding the high seas with their game. But with the delays and other issues happening such as studio internal issues the game did not shape up to what was the original vision.

I felt that this was a miss opportunity for Ubisoft to make a game with Pirate themes, based on the videos reviews it looks like the game is trying to be many things like live service, maybe if they made a smaller more focused game on ship naval warfare single player it might have fared better.

While Ubisoft were doing well with Assassins Creed black flag 🏴‍☠️, this game should have been released an addon for the original pirate game.

I guess Sea of Thieves took that spot, it was released in 2018 on Xbox and later pc.

the last pirates movie was released in 2017 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

I am not sure if more content will keep interest in the game. Maybe if it was single player it might do better to justify the price $70.

The game is only published on Epic Games store for now. Not sure if it is coming to steam.
