“It's maybe about bringing some dangerous contraband to different places around the world, or going after and taking out named pirates that are causing trouble for one of the Kingpins, or plundering one of the settlements to get a certain item. “We want to be pirate-oriented,” Barnard reveals. There’s plenty of characters offering work contracts that lead to adventure, explosions, and - most importantly - heaps of treasure. So if there’s no campaign, what exactly do you do in Skull and Bones? Well, the Indian Ocean is full of opportunities. You can team up with those other players… or hunt them down, sink their ships, and steal their treasure. You can do all of this solo, but Skull and Bones is a shared world game with up to 20 players on each server. You set your own objectives, decide how you’ll sail the waves, and plunder ships to increase your wealth and infamy. Instead of a main, overarching storyline written by Ubisoft, Skull and Bones’ story is one you make yourself. “We do have pivotal characters or ‘Kingpins’ in the game that you'll meet on your journey, and they will have bits of story and background that you will be able to jobs or the contracts with them,” Barnard explains. That’s not to say there’s no story at all, though. It's something we want to perpetuate as a live game for years and years to come.” “You don't finish Skull & Bones and have credits and a cutscene at the end. “It is definitely not a storyline-driven game,” says Barnard. Unlike most of Ubisoft’s open-world games, Skull and Bones does not have a campaign.
