[News] Skull and Bones has pets, including pirate cats

[Mr.Shehbaz]

Yes, there are Skull and Bones pets, Ubisoft confirms to PCGamesN, including pirate cats and lemurs, which are part of ship customization. Are scurvy dogs next?

 

The big re-reveal of Ubisoft’s open-sea pirate game confirms many new features, including that it’s basically Sea of Thieves meets Raft, but PCGamesN can confirm the best yet – Skull and Bones pets, included in ship customisation, such as adorable pirate kitty cats.

 

Players can change a lot of things about their Skull and Bones ship, from practical stuff like weapons and cargo capacity to cosmetic items like furniture and cooler mastheads. Those paying attention to the Skull and Bones gameplay reveal may have noticed an adorable lemur accompanying the player character as they steer the ship, too. There was also a cat, too.

 

These both looked an awful lot like pets to us, so PCGamesN reached out to Ubisoft – which confirms that yes, Skull and Bones will indeed have pirate pets, including lemurs, cats, and more to be revealed at a later date. “Pets are indeed part of the customisation options,” an Ubisoft representative told PCGamesN. “Cats will also be available – as for the rest, it’s going to be a surprise!”

 

It seems likely that (scurvy) dogs would follow cats, and we’d be astonished if there weren’t several bird species available – such as the iconic parrots, of course. If there are lemurs, monkeys seem likely too, although whether they’ll be undead like in Pirates of the Caribbean is another matter. We’ll have to wait and see.
