Skull & Bones Will Be A 'Multiplayer-First' Game According To Ubisoft

Ubisoft says that the game has a new direction and will now focus on multiplayer-first.

And just like that, any hope for this game went poof.

Yeah, focusing on MP & trying to include single player rarely works out well. Sea of Thieves is a terrible solo experience, Amazon tried adding traditional non-PVP stuff to New World which, again, didn't really do much for those wanting solo play, etc.

We always knew this was going to have a strong multiplayer focus, but back in 2017 they did at least say it would have some kind of more traditional narrative campaign as well. This news tells me whatever they have for SP now will be nominal. It'll tick a box to try to sell as many copies as possible, but will likely be a watered down, overly simplistic experience not worth it for most people. Such a shame.

It makes sense and it could be amazing but the last bit of interest I had in the game has just gone.

Sounds like the Division on ships. How many times can u do the same Island Raid to get that gold musket before you get bored.

IanTH1553d ago

But what about if that golden musket is...an NFT!?! :-p

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit21d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing21d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
