Skull & Bones will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2019, Ubisoft announced during its E3 2018 press conference. A new cinematic trailer and six-minute gameplay trailer were also debuted.
Here are the latest details on the game, via Ubisoft.com:
Skull & Bones is showing off a new PvPvE mode at E3 2018 called Hunting Grounds. Setting players loose in the open Indian Ocean, this new mode will let them hunt merchant ships, loot trade routes, and sink enemy vessels either as a lone wolf or part of a pirate gang. As you pillage and plunder your way towards fame and notoriety, you’ll have to fend off the forces of powerful empires, fiendish rival pirates, and even the treacherous ocean itself. And in true pirate fashion, there’s always the possibility of your pirate gang turning on you to take your riches. Skull & Bones will launch in 2019 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
On your journey through the Hunting Grounds, you’ll need to gather intelligence and prepare your ship’s crew and weapons before each hunt. Once you’re out on the open waters, you’ll have to decide what kind of pirate you’ll be. Will you sail the oceans alone, loyal to no one but yourself? Will you maintain honor among thieves and hunt with friends? Or will you adopt a true pirate’s life and betray your fellow players, making off with all of the loot yourself?
Hunting Grounds will be available alongside Disputed Waters, Skull & Bones‘ dedicated PvP multiplayer mode, which pits you and four other players against a rival pirate gang to fight over riches, sink opponents’ ships, and make off with the treasure before the deadly pirate hunters arrive. Your pirate adventures in Skull & Bones will also include Deadly Encounters, which will be detailed at a later date.
On your journey to become a pirate king, you’ll acquire unique and formidable warships – so whether you want a quick and agile vessel, or a towering battleship, you’ll always have something in your arsenal to fit your play style. In addition to finding a vessel that suits you, you’ll be able to customize your ship with different weapons and crewmates to further refine your experience. Pirates who want to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies at first sight can also customize nearly every visual aspect of their ship, including sails, figureheads, ship wheels, paint colors, and pirate captain.
Those eager to prove themselves on the high seas against other pirates can register now to join the beta prior to launch at skullandbonesgame.com/register. Beta players will be able to play the game ahead of release, and provide feedback to the development team.
And here is a general overview of the game:

Double Fine Productions has released the E3 2018 trailer for Knights and Bikes, the upcoming hand-painted action adventure game from Foam Sword for PlayStation 4 and PC.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Knights and Bikes is a hand-painted action-adventure set on a fictional British island in the late 1980s, inspired by coming-of-age movies like The Goonies and classic games like Earthbound and Secret of Mana.
The story features two new friends: Nessa & Demelza. They’re tough and imaginative girls exploring the island of Penfurzy in search of mysteries and treasure. Cycling around on their bikes, exploring the natural beauty of their surroundings, they experience their first taste of a more grown-up freedom. But this new-found independence also leads them into danger, both modern and ancient.
With a mixture of ingenuity and imagination, they deal with enemies and a challenging environment using frisbees, water-balloons, a cranked-up stereo, a pet goose, and more. The trinkets they collect from their adventures allow them to upgrade their bikes and widen their treasure-hunt.
As Nessa and Demelza try to figure-out the puzzling adult world around them, it’s their friendship and imagination that guides them on their quest: to find the legendary treasure! (as well as saving some of those stupid adults that just keep disappearing).
The game is by Rex Crowle, (Creative Director: Tearaway / Tearaway Unfolded, Art and Design: LittleBigPlanet) and by Moo You (Gameplay Programmer: Ratchet & Clank and LittleBigPlanet). Audio design by Kenny Young (Audio Lead: Tearaway and LittleBigPlanet) and with a musical score by Daniel Pemberton (Composer: The Man From Uncle, Steve Jobs, King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword).
Things to Do
• Best friends forever! Play single-player with an AI companion, couch co-op or online co-op.
• Solve puzzles and deal with enemies using your improvised abilities! These include: frisbees, water-balloons, puddle-stomping welly boots, and a powerful boom-box stereo.
• Work together! Both characters have different skills so you’ll want to experiment with how they combine in order to succeed.
• Explore the island! Seek out its modern tourist-attractions and ancient ruins, both on foot and on your customised bikes.
• Discover treasure! Ranging from trinkets like broken action-figures and animal skulls, to the legendary riches rumoured to be hidden on the island.
• Upgrade your bikes! Barter with adults (offload your junk) so you can personalise your bikes, unlock extra abilities or at the very least: get those training-wheels removed!
• Tend to your pet goose! Captain Honkers has a keen nose-beak and can help you find what you need, if you keep him fed and happy.
A release date for Knights and Bikes has yet to be announced.
