The more things change they more they stay the same however, as E3’s block of press conferences will still remain a popular attraction as a pre-show extravaganza. Ubisoft is sticking to its tried and tested guns once again in 2018, as they’ve date their annual E3 press conference for June 11.

What about the player who wants to sail around at their own steam in Skull and Bones? The player who wants to focus primarily on single-player over multiplayer high seas shenanigans? Ubisoft has a plan for that, although it’s not a traditional campaign that the publisher and their Singapore-based development team has in store for players.

Skull and Bones was one of my favourite games of E3 this year. Essentially the best naval bits of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, this retooled collection of naval battles was gorgeous, fun and it thoroughly shivered my timbers. Here’s the question that many a person has asked though: Why is it a new IP? Why not keep it within the shared universe of Assassin’s Creed games? Because doing so wuld limit the new IP for Ubisoft.

Skull and Bones as a multiplayer game probably doesn’t sound like an enticing day one buy on its own. Fortunately, it’ll have a proper single-player campaign on launch according to PC Gamer.

Another year, another E3 done and dusted! Possibly having too many games yet again, E3 was still home to plenty of winners and gems to keep your feeds open for. Games which made racing fun again, rocked the dragon and were spectacular in action. Here’s our list on the cream of the crop from this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo.

Blue seas, rolling waves and a ship to sail the high seas on. Now imagine that ship being pursued through hell and back amidst a sea of salty water and cannonballs as dozens of ships chase you down in pursuit of your sweet booty. That’s the world of Skull and Bones, Ubisoft’s nautical title which takes that one idea that made Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag so memorable and builds an entire game around it.
