10 Upcoming Video Games We're Most Worried About

8. Skull & Bones

Death Stranding
Ubisoft

Skull & Bones seems like it has a lot of potential, and with marketing for the game yet to really begin in earnest, there’s no huge hype to get worried about either. The problem is that nothing we’ve seen so far suggests Skull & Bones can actually sustain itself as a full game.

With Ubisoft at the helm, the combat looks to be a warmed over version of what Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag offered us years ago. Though naval combat in that game was deeply divisive, that stemmed more from the fact it didn’t quite fit in with Assassin’s Creed’s aesthetics.

Pirate Edward Kenway just sort of stumbled into being an assassin, and was by far the least stealthy of the bunch. Most people seemed to agree that the naval combat was fun, but there were certainly times when it felt out of place.

With Sea Of Thieves already established, Skull & Bones doesn’t even have any uniqueness going for it. Skull & Bones does have both single and multiplayer, but is that enough content to make it worthwhile? The fear remains that one of the two modes will feel tacked on, and the player base could fizzle.
