The gameplay trailer demonstrated some of how multiplayer will work, but much remains unknown. The only issue here is that alliances are fluid in Skull and Bones, so your teammates may turn on you when it comes time to divide the treasure. Even if you’re powered up, you’ll need to work together to sink the big warships.

The idea is to team up with other pirate ships and combine your various abilities to take down the really big enemies and claim the most loot. In the demo, we see that you can disguise yourself as ships from various factions and that you can set your sails for speed rather than combat or maneuverability. You’ll also be able to sail in a variety of ways. Each boat can now be equipped with a special ability, such as a cannon that fires eight shots in one volley or the ability to fire without waiting for a cooldown. There are various types of shots that allow you to damage other ships, and disable their ability to sail or shoot back.

Sailing works similarly to how it does in Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, in that you steer around the ocean and then fire cannons at other boats. You’re basically out there to loot and become a powerful pirate the trailer makes numerous references to rising to the top of the food chain. The delicacy is in the method and the reasoning. Skull and Bones gameplay revolves around sinking other ships.
