When I first got my hands on Skull & Bones during its last closed beta in August, I was stunned that this legendarily elusive game actually existed. Now, with a release date in February of next year fast approaching, it would seem any doubt that this seafaring adventure won’t see the light of day is fading. Now I just want to know if it’s going to be good, and after another six hours in the most recent closed beta this past weekend, I find myself more hopeful than ever that this plundering simulator might actually capture the attention of me and my friends. Though the most recent beta included some odd and unexpected changes to the story, my friends and I dove deep into the waters of this ship-based adventure’s RPG mechanics and came away pleasantly surprised.

According to reporting from Tom Henderson at Insider Gaming, Ubisoft’s beleaguered pirate game Skull & Bones will finally arrive on February 16, 2024.
Originally slated for a 2018 release, Skull and Bones underwent a significant development shift with a «new vision» at Ubisoft Singapore. After a whopping six delays, Ubisoft officially announced in October that Skull & Bones would arrive sometime in the Q4 FY23-24 window. More recently, Ubisoft Singapore’s former Managing Director Darryl Long confirmed these reports in a piece published at Yahoo Gaming SEA, stating that the game would ship sometime between January and March of next year.
Insider Gaming’s sources claim the official announcement of the release date may come at this year’s The Game Awards on December 7. The game, which is being developed under the codename ‘Project XA’ has seen frequent playtesting lately, with one such test occurring as recently as last week.
Players can pre-order the Standard Edition of the game for $59.99 on the official Ubisoft store, though Insider Gaming reports that Ubisoft has plans for a Premium Edition offering players three days of early access and other as yet to be determined bonuses at a later date.
Atomic Heart's next DLC looks even weirder, and will be out in February
When a game has multiple endings, that can cause problems for post-ending DLC. Do you canonize one ending, which risks alienating players who chose a different one? Make the story vague enough that it could follow on from any of the endings, which can mean tying yourself into narrative knots? Rewrite the ending and provide a whole new one, like Fallout 3 did with Broken Steel?
