Skull and Bones

To do:

  • This game was in development hell for over a whole decade, there's bound to be a lot more here.
    • Prerelease page, naturally.
  • Title screen.

Skull and Bones is a pirate-themed game by Ubisoft, and could possibly be one of the only Ubisoft games where the "A UBISOFT ORIGINAL" tagline actually fits in.

It's probably best known for being (touted by Ubisoft as) the first "quadruple-A" game, which in this case apparently means "being a dull, massively watered-down version of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's gameplay with a $70 pricetag and microtransactions".
