During its E3 2018 press conference, the developer shared an extended gameplay demo showcasing a PvPvE mode called The Hunting Grounds. > Like Microsoft's pirate adventure, Sea of Thieves, Skull & Bones is a shared pirate game "where every player encounter matters." In The Hunting Grounds, players can freely sail the Indian Ocean and loot merchant ships, trade routes, or attack other vessels. While voyaging out in the world, you'll come across other players, and you can either attack them and plunder their treasure or team up to take on more formidable threats.
