After what feels appreciate countless delays (seriously, our first hands-on with it was in mid-2017), Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones finally has a release date. As revealed at The Game Awards, the action-adventure game is at last set to land on February 16, 2024. Ubisoft+ subscribers and those who pre-order can hop in three days earlier.
As this name suggests, this is a game all about piracy. You can select to set sail on a pirate ship by yourself or team up with a friend or two in co-op play. You’ll battle settlements and other ships, “defy legendary pirate myths” and face off against fearsome creatures from the deep.
If you have a pirate-sized itch to scratch and Sea of Thieves isn’t quite cutting it for you, you can register for the Skull and Bones closed beta, which will run from December 15 to 18. The game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Amazon Luna. At one point, Skull and Bones was supposed to reach on Google Stadia, but the cloud gaming platform has both debuted and died since the game’s first delay.
