Does Skull and Bones have co-op?
Click to enlargeYes, Skull and Bones can be played in co-op. The game has 3-player co-op so you'll be able to team up with other pirates.
In fact, the game encourages you to do so. The tasks you'll be completing within Skull and Bones are easier if you've got multiple players taking them on at the same time. Harder tasks will also give you more rewards.
So it stands to reason that playing in co-op will be the optimal way to play Skull and Bones, though you can play it solo if you prefer.
Can you fight other people in Skull and Bones?

You might have to fight pirates who try to steal your loot, or you might be the one doing the looting. It remains to be seen how fleshed-out the PVP in the game is, but it's definitely going to be a major part of the experience.
The game takes place in a shared open world where other players can interact with you, much like Sea of Thieves, though the emphasis is more on ship combat rather than boarding enemies and fighting them in person.
