It is the golden age of piracy. Renegade captains command the most powerful weapons on earth: warships. In Skull & Bone, you are an insatiable pirate captain who has rejected the king's pardon. With nothing to lose, you have sailed from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, an exotic and untamed frontier full of lush treasures. However, these rich and idyllic waters also serve as the battlefield where great colonial empires, powerful trading companies, and ruthless pirates fiercely compete for their share of these valuable treasures. As you rise to become the ultimate pirate leader, you will build a customizable fleet of ships, go on treasure hunts along lucrative trade routes, and take down rival captains, memorable characters, and other players. To survive in this ruthless ocean, you must ally with other pirates to form the most influential pirate gang—become too big to fail and join the endless struggle for dominance in the Indian Ocean.
