Ubisoft announces the full availability of
Skull and Bones, launching
the pirate adventure for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. This is a day some
thought might never arrive after all the delays following the game's
announcement in 2017 for a 2018 launch.
There's a Standard Edition and a Premium Edition, and access to the Premium
Edition is included with a Ubisoft+ subscription. There is the chance to sample
the game for free through a trial version that permits up to eight hours of
play. The note about the free trial says it's for this weekend, but also says
the offer expires on 1/1/2300, in which case Bones McCoy may end up checking out
Skull and Bones. The previously released
Launch
Trailer shows how you can make your bones as a pirate. Here's what this
brings to the boarding party:
ENGAGE IN THRILLING NAVAL COMBAT
Sail the lawless seas solo or team up with two other players to partake in
shareable contracts and rewards.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR SHIP TO MATCH YOUR PLAYSTYLE
Craft and sail up to 10 different ships at launch, each with unique perks to
match your own personal playstyle.
BECOME THE MOST INFAMOUS PIRATE KING
Face cutthroat pirate hunters, deadly sea monsters, unpredictable weather,
dangerous rogue waves, supernatural threats, and more as you explore a vast open
world.
