They compare Skull and Bones to Assassins Creed Black Flag, 11 years apart.

Skull and Bones launches this Friday in the homes of all players willing to take to the sea. Early players compared some elements to other Ubisoft games with the same theme, such as Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Both share the fit and feel of sailing through the ocean from wave to wave. With an 11-year gap, it would be logical to think that the new one would look better… but that doesn’t seem to be the case..

As we can see from the comparison that appeared on social networks The approaches in Skull and Bones are much less impressive.. Hand-to-hand combat is taken out of the equation; To board a ship, you just need to insist on throwing harpoons over one of its sides. In Black Flag, you take control of the situation yourself after you inflict sufficient damage on the enemy.

But the most obvious changes are in climate impacts. The environment has less detail than the fourth Assassin’s Creed game.. The force of the storms could be felt at any time. Water flooded the floor of the ship, whereas in Skull and Bones there is no such reaction.

At MeriStation we are working on an analysis of the game, which we will offer you later. Being a multiplayer game, the experience started from the same moment as the other players. As soon as we have it, you’ll be the first to know our findings on the long-running game.

This was shown in a video stage as part of E3 2017. Since then, delays and silence have become the tone of the project, which was originally expected in 2019. Will finally release in 2024 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC..
