Ubisoft said when it announced the high-seas swashbuckling sim Skull and Bones that the game will support both solo and co-op play—"Raid the Hunting Grounds alone or group with other players to hunt larger prey," to be precise—but the focus was clearly on the multiplayer side of things. For those of you who don't like to share the booty, or get ganked by tricked-out frigates, there will be a proper single-player campaign included as well.

"[Skull and Bones] will offer a narrative campaign which will be integrated into the game and will not be something aside of the multiplayer experience. In this campaign, players will encounter iconic characters and memorable rival pirates. More details will be shared at a later date," a rep said.

Enter the Golden Age of Piracy as you sail through rich merchant trade routes. Embody an insatiable pirate captain, dive into the battle for the ruling of the Indian Ocean and become the most feared pirate, alone or with your gang of up to 5 players.

For Honor with ships. Too bad it's not a full-on Pirates sequel, or that there's no proper campaign where you exit the ship, etc., but we'll take it.

Nice CG trailer. It's very cool when modern music is used appropriately over historical images, as in The Last of the Mohicans. Some of the characters also look cool (though others look like the usual stilted, half-ugly Ubisoft faces unfortunately).

I like that the party size is five. One more than For Honor and Sea of Thieves.
