As well, it was stated that additional Ubisoft Studios, such as Ubisoft Berlin, were co-developing the game alongside Ubisoft Singapore. In September 2020, it was revealed that, while development was continuing, a 'new vision' for the game had emerged, which resulted in the release delays as more development time was needed. In May 2021, Ubisoft announced a subsequent delay to the April 2022–March 2023 fiscal year. On a call with investors in October 2019, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that the game had been pushed back to at least the April 2021–March 2022 fiscal year.

It was confirmed for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with enhancements for PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X.

It was revealed during Ubisoft's press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2017. The project reportedly cost Ubisoft more than $120 million. Developers contacted by journalist Ethan Gatch attributed these difficulties to conflicting ideas, management issues, and lack of consistent direction. Gameplay was redesigned multiple times, focusing variously on naval exploration and ship-to-ship combat, before both were scrapped in favour of land-based survival elements inspired by games like Rust. Initially set in the Caribbean, it was moved to the fantastical Hyperborea, then finally the Indian Ocean. It was then spun off as an independent project, in part due to its initial technology becoming outdated.Īccording to a Kotaku report, the game has undergone multiple changes in direction and scope during development, exceeding its budget multiple times. The game began development in 2013, being initially envisioned as an expansion, then an MMO spinoff title under the name Black Flag Infinite. Skull & Bones is the first video game led by developer Ubisoft Singapore, which drew inspiration from the naval battles of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Microtransactions will be an added feature.

Each given ship's crow's nest is scalable for use as a lookout point and spyglasses can be availed of as well. A core component is the multiplayer mode Loot Hunt, where two groups of players are challenged in treasure hunting to further accumulate their riches. The rate of inflicted damage is gauged by the health bar.

Ships can be charged into with brute force and boarded. Players may collect additional ships throughout the game, such as sloops-of-war, frigates and brigantines, whose weapons include mortars, broadside cannons, and rockets. Wind positioning can be assessed to gain an advantage in battle. Players take control of a customizable pirate captain, and may choose to sail the Indian Ocean by themselves and set off on a single-player campaign, or gather up to five other players to ally in player versus player gameplay in Disputed Waters. Skull & Bones is a tactical action game set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective. The player sails past approaching enemy ships.
