Skull and Bones: The Ultimate Pirate Simulator - Release Date and More

Get ready to set sail on the high seas as Ubisoft's pirate life game, Skull and Bones, is finally approaching its release date. This highly anticipated MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game promises to deliver the ultimate pirate experience, allowing players to choose their fate - become a feared pirate or help other sailors navigate the treacherous waters.

What is the Release Date of Skull and Bones?

The long-awaited release date of Skull and Bones is February 16, 2024. After multiple delays, fans can finally start counting down the days until they can dive into this immersive pirate world. With nearly a decade of development behind it, the game has undergone significant changes, including two closed beta tests that showcased remarkable improvements.

Our Experience with the Closed Betas

We were fortunate enough to participate in both closed beta tests, and the difference between them was astounding. The first beta had a slow grind, requiring hours of gameplay before reaching the point of owning a ship capable of combat. However, the second beta was a massive improvement, offering a faster introduction that immersed players in the open seas in under an hour, making it feel truly satisfying.

History of Skull and Bones

Skull and Bones was initially announced in 2017, but its development began in 2013 as an expansion to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. After being in development for four years, the game was finally revealed, and it has been adding years to its development time ever since.

Multiple Delays and the Future of Skull and Bones

Despite facing multiple delays, Ubisoft has consistently assured fans that the game would be released in the future. Provided the February 2024 release date holds, Skull and Bones will have been in development for around 11 years since its inception as part of the Assassin's Creed franchise.

With the release date approaching, fans can look forward to an epic pirate adventure that promises to deliver hundreds of hours of gameplay. Will you become a legendary pirate or a trusted ally? The choice is yours in Skull and Bones.
