Ubisoft's Skull and Bones Set for February 16 Launch
Open Beta Progress to Carry Forward, Year 1 Roadmap Detailed
- Ubisoft's Skull and Bones, a naval warfare multiplayer game, is set to launch on February 16, 2024, following numerous delays.
- The game will have an open beta from February 8 to February 11, with progress and exclusive rewards earned during the beta carrying forward into the full game.
- Skull and Bones' first year of post-launch content will include seasonal updates, introducing new pirate captains and fleets, and endgame activities such as managing a criminal empire and battling other players in PvP showdowns.
- Each season will introduce new world events, with Season 1, Raging Tides, pitting players against the 'diseased' Philippe La Peste.
- Despite comparisons to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Skull and Bones offers more ship customization and a color-tiered loot system.
