Skull and Bones is Ubisoft's attempt to build the ultimate pirate experience. You'll start as a lowly outcast, shipwrecked on an outpost without a crew to call your own. Gradually, you'll rise in infamy and capability, and eventually control a great fleet who can conquer the Indian Ocean and battle it out with other players. Skull and Bones is an interesting concept, one that's been floating around for a couple of years now – it's been over five years since it was revealed, and is thought to have been in development since the release of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.
There are a lot of unanswered questions, naturally, given the number of times that Skull and Bones has been delayed. But we finally have a clear picture of what this game is and how it differs from something like a Sea of Thieves – with Skull and Bones pulling greater focus onto combat, ship customization, and features like resource gathering and crafting. So keep reading for everything we know so far on Skull and Bones ahead of its release next year.
Skull and Bones is set to make sail on March 9, 2023. Ubisoft announced the new Skull and Bones release date on September 28, as the publisher explained that it required additional time to give the game (which is now content complete) "further polish and balance" following feedback from pre-launch technical tests.
Skull and Bones will release on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in 2023. There were originally plans for Skull and Bones PS4 and Xbox One editions, back when the nautical adventure was scheduled to release in 2018, although Ubisoft later dropped support for the two systems as it shifted its focus towards the new generation.
