After playing Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, a good many of us began dreaming of a new game, just like it, but with more "pirate" and less "assassin." Then, at E3 2017, Ubisoft basically said "fine... here!" and threw the announcement trailer for Skull & Bones at us.

Skull & Bones, we learned, is going to focus less on jumping around and being all stabby, like Black Flag, and more on naval combat, like... I dunno... actual naval combat, I guess. Or, at the very least, like the naval sections of Black Flag and other Assassin's Creed titles. There's also going to be an emphasis on multiplayer fleet battles, although we've been assured there will be plenty of solo missions for the loner buccaneer out there.

A little less than a year ago, we we're treated to nearly half an hour of gameplay footage, and it looks pretty awesome. Still, we know very little about the game's story, single player content or even when in the blue blazes the game is even coming out. Well, other than this year, anyway.

We're predicting, however, that this will change during E3 2019, and that Ubisoft will not only be sharing the game's expected release date, but also more details on... well, all that stuff we just mentioned.

This is an important game for Ubisoft, who clearly see this game as a - forgive the pun - flagship IP, and thus would explain the delays and the limited amount of information released about it. Still, they need to reveal this stuff at some point, and we're guessing E3 2019 will be when.
