In 2017, Skull and Bones was one of the most anticipated Ubisoft games for players. However, after years of delays, fans are starting to worry about its ultimate quality. Unfortunately, recently leaked gameplay shows that it is highly similar to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag in some ways. The lack of obvious changes in gameplay has made many players think that it is just a replica of "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag", which is difficult to have high influence like other Ubisoft games.

The Black Sail of Blue Sea is expected to be released at the end of 2022 or early 2023. Play videos circulating on the Internet indicate that it lacks in-depth world exploration, and series such as Assassin's Creed and Far Cry are so popular (although more formulaic). However, the most disappointing thing is that its naval combat gameplay looks like it completely replicates "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag".

The reason why "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag" was successful is not only excellent and profound plot, but also excellent naval combat gameplay. After the release of "Blue Sea and Black Sail", many Ubisoft fans hope that developers can add more features to expand this interesting gameplay and make it an independent masterpiece. But the Alpha test disappointed many players. Although it is not the final version, the core gameplay is unlikely to be greatly modified. Without meaningful updates, "Black Sails in the Blue Sea" can only live in the shadow of "Assassin's Creed 4: The Black Flag".

According to reports, "Blue Sea and Black Sail" has no land warfare mode at all, and it is all naval warfare. It seems that all resource collection and island exploration are automatically done by the crew, which affects the depth of the gameplay and makes it look more like a mobile game than a 3A masterpiece. As a multiplayer pirate adventure game, it will compete with games such as "Sea of Thieves", but judging from its current reputation, this game will not die suddenly, but it is likely to fail.

Ubisoft's situation is special, as "Black Sails" may become a long-term series, especially after many players are tired of "Assassin's Creed" and "Far Cry". If you want "Blue Sea Black Sail" to become the trump card of Ubisoft games, it must bring more gameplay creativity.
