Ubisoft has released a trailer showcasing a dedicated Ship’s Wheel Controller for Skull and Bones, their upcoming game. While gimmick controllers are not new, this unique controller designed after a ship’s wheel stands out for its incredible detail and craftsmanship.
The Ship’s Wheel Controller is hand-carved and resembles a real pirate ship's wheel. It can spin a full 360 degrees and includes a directional pad, face buttons, and velocity paddles. This controller is perfect for steering your ship, sailing across the open world, and engaging in sea battles against other players.
Unfortunately, the Skull and Bones Ship’s Wheel Controller is not available for sale. Ubisoft has clarified that it was created solely for promotional purposes and will not be given away in any sweepstakes competition. This limited edition controller adds a level of authenticity to the gameplay and would have been a prized possession for fans of the game.
The manufacturing process of the Ship’s Wheel Controller was likely complex and time-consuming, especially considering its handcrafted design. Ubisoft has not disclosed the manufacturing costs, but it is safe to assume that the controller would have been expensive. Given the already high budget of Skull and Bones and the company's concerns about profitability, it is understandable why Ubisoft decided not to make the controller widely available. If the controller ever becomes available on platforms like eBay, it is expected to have a steep asking price.
While the Skull and Bones Ship’s Wheel Controller may not be available for purchase, it remains a fascinating piece of promotional material. Its intricate design and functionality would have enhanced the gaming experience for players. Although disappointed fans may not be able to own this unique controller, they can still look forward to enjoying the immersive world of Skull and Bones when the game is released.
