Ubisoft will hold a new closed beta this week on PC for its upcoming MMO Skull and Bones. The invite-only beta will invite players via Ubisoft Connect and will run from tomorrow, August 24th at 7:00 p.m. Pacific time through August 28th at 12:00 a.m. Pacific time.

If you have applied to test Skull and Bones ,  and you were accepted to this beta test, your invite should be sent via Ubisoft Connect. Ubisoft has made it so that any beta player can also invite two other friends to join them into the closed beta, which isn’t under NDA, so stream away.

You can already preload the game, and the team has included PC specs in their closed beta announcement. The specs listed go from minimum requirements to recommend it all the way up to a 2K and a 4K setup.

Those who testSkull and Bones this week can explore a couple of areas, as well as take on a limited portion of the main campaign contracts.
