reemerged at E3 flaunting broadsides to go weak at the knees over.
We saw a really hearty chunk of gameplay at Ubisoft's E3 conference, and the game looked considerably more spectacular than this time last year at it's last outing. Ships were hulking, ornate galleons, worn by the weather and battle, as were the sailors on board it. And when the cannons roared! There was billowing smoke and thundering, fiery, splintering explosion.
The demo began in the hub island where your character starts each adventure - a mechanic very similar to Rare's Sea of Thieves. But in Skull and Bones you customise many more aspects of your ship, swapping cannon, ship wheels and all kinds of equipment, which has a statistical effect on your ship's capabilities. And unlike in Sea of Thieves, where you and your friends control a boat, in Skull and Bones the boats are controlled by one player and crewed by AI. Teaming up involves other boats joining the fray, which they can - Skull and Bones is a shared-world game. To invite another player to the battle you have to see them from your crow's nest, it looks like.

Ubisoft has announced a release date for its weird and charming toys-to-life game Starlink: Battle for Atlas. The game will be landing on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on 16th of October, and Switch players will be able to play with Fox McCloud through the entire campaign including missions exclusive to Fox as add-on content.
Starlink: Battle for Atlas is a space dogfighting and exploration game with a colourful art style that calls to mind No Man's Sky. The gimmick is that you can tinker with your in-game spacecraft by messing around with little models that clip onto the controllers. It looks wonderfully zany and the sort of thing that only Ubisoft would do these days.
This is not the first Nintendo crossover Ubisoft has enjoyed in recent years: at last year's E3 press conference, Shigeru Miyamoto came on-stage to help explain Mario + Rabbids. This year, he was given a model Arwing and invited backstage to meet the Starlink development team.

Ubisoft has revealed new details for The Division 2 at its E3 press conference.
Taking the battle to Washington DC, the MMO sequel promises a story-based campaign in which the player's actions have an impact on the civilians of the city.
Once the campaign is finished, however, players will choose a new progression path by picking one of three specialisations, each of which begin with the choosing of a signature weapon. From there, things flow outwards with additional unlockable weapons and skills, with the aim of creating personal playstyles that synergise with other players.
