Ubisoft is betting big on its pirate-themed MMO, Skull & Bones. The company has announced its partnership with Atlas Entertainment to bring out a series ahead of the release of the game itself. "Ubisoft is known for creating innovative video games that combine immense worlds with rich narratives," says Danielle Kreinik, the executive co-producer along with Jason Altman.

    Ohh... Like how Anthem has the short film made. This has this.

    Time to spot the hypocrites.

    Umm, no.

    "Ubisoft is known for spearheading single player only to be always online DRM with no remorse."

    Much better.

    betting in a pirate themed game is already risky, now link a series to it? yeah it was never tried before, and we sure don't know the results

    Show had 3 seasons which is 2 more than Firefly had so flop I suppose is in eye of beholder.

    Game however was pretty big on the flop side.
    Yeh, the series wasn't terrible. It wasn't amazing either but there's much worse sci-fi series out there. Was fine for someone that just generally likes sci-fi and had already watched all the best shows.

    Just when you thought seeing Destiny plastered on Pepsi boxes was enough marketing saturation...


    Ubi should've created an Ninja Warrior-style show, except instead of wall climbing and shit, they subject contestants to the elements, wild animals, and gang violence in a purpose-built ghost city, starving them and exposing them to nerve agents and viruses, while seeing see who can survive the longest.  They could use it to market Div2!

    They'd better spend the money on decent character creator for new The Division. Toons are so ugly I won't buy TD2 even with 90% discount.

    Thank you for your time!

    WoW, am I the only person here excited for this game? I LOVED Odyssey! A pirate based game with ship combat seems like a home run to me. I can't wait to play this game.

    Loved Black Sails, doubt they will beat it. I just want a Treasure Island spin off of BS.

    erm what? MMO? I got the impression that this game was closer to Rainbow Six Siege, but with ships, then an MMO.

    If it's not an mmo "rpg" I wouldn't be betting so big on this. There are already multiple mmo's out there like war thunder, PlanetSide 2, and world of warships and many others to pick from. If this turns out to be a simple mmo like wow or war thunder I wouldn't be betting so big on it, but if it were an RPG then they will have Atlas and sea of thieves to contend with. Just my 2 cents

    I love pirate themed movies and games. There just hasn't been many lately. Will give this one a shot when it releases.

    I'd rather see a Splinter Cell TV series with Micheal Ironside in charge of the organization.

    Maybe I should contact Ubisoft about the game. My slow pitch softball team needs a sponsor and we be happy to have the games logo on the back of our jerseys. I know we could get the logo out there as the guys on my team visit all the usual hotspots including clubs, restaurants, movie theaters, drug dealer dens, brothels, and even the occasional senior citizens home. We have a pretty good base there and I'm sure we get hit up a few schools along the way for the kids to maximize the potential of the game.

    Uh ... are pirates still a big thing these days?



    I personally love pirates. Saying that I wouldn't say Pirates are hugely popular. The only problem I have is no pirate game has really caught my interest. Only a few in my life time were worth playing. Sea of Thieves was terrible and from what has been shown of Skull and Bones it looks to be the same thing with more money behind it.

    There were female pirates in the 17th century. Not many but they did exist.

    Also, the most successful pirate in history was female.

    Lastly, there are so many myths and misconceptions about pirates from this time that a little historical inaccuracy really doesn't matter.

    Tv Land wants a tie in to any other IP for every series now, in fact that's the story in the whole entertainments industry. George R. Martin is enough of an "IP" you can get a TV series of the back of one of his short stories, think of all the short stories by all the great SF writers out there, but this is GRM!

    That's the sort of thinking we have here, I would not be surprised if a lot more gaming got used for this sort of thing in the future.

    It's Ubisoft, it's a nobrainer both will be bad.



    The double standards are strong with Ubisoft lovers.
