Ubisoft has announced that it is partnering with Oceana, the largest international advocacy organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation. Oceana’s mission is to protect and restore our oceans by leading strategic, directed campaigns that achieve measurable outcomes. They leverage law, science, grassroots activism, advocacy, and strategic communications to contribute to policy change around the world. With Oceana, Ubisoft has announced the launch of “Waves of Change”, an in-game charity event within Skull & Bones. From March 18  to March 31, when players defeat enemies in the game, Ubisoft will make donations on their behalf to support the preservation of underwater ecosystems.  Ubisoft’s goal is to raise 300,000 € in donations by the end of the event.

All players, including those currently on the free trial will automatically join the event, facing off against Skirmishers, Headhunters, and the notorious Pirate Lord Philippe La Peste. Ubisoft will donate based on the number of defeats inflicted upon these particular enemies. Daily progress towards the donation target will be monitored and displayed on a dedicated webpage, allowing players to track their contributions if they want. Participants in the event will also earn in-game rewards – the Pioneer set – as a token of appreciation for their involvement.

“At Ubisoft, we believe that we can harness the power of games to raise awareness and take action on environmental issues. With ‘Waves of Change,’ we’re proud to give Skull & Bones players an opportunity to support Oceana’s vital work to preserve our oceans,” said Neven Dravinski, Senior Producer of Skull & Bones, Ubisoft Singapore. “By bringing our community together through the fun gameplay that they know and love, we can help make a difference for a cause that our team is passionate about.”

“The oceans are in trouble because of human-caused threats like climate change, plastic pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction,” said Jon Frank, Director, Global Corporate & Celebrity Partnerships, Oceana. “Thankfully, they are resilient too. Together with Ubisoft, we hope ‘Waves of Change’ inspires people to join Oceana and help us rebuild abundant and biodiverse oceans.”
