Ubisoft's long-anticipated pirate adventure 'Skull and Bones' has nailed down a release date for February 2024, after a series of delays that pushed its launch back multiple times. Initially showcased at E3 2017, the game was aimed for a 2018 release which shifted continuously over the years. The new release date is February 13, 2024, for Ubisoft+ subscribers and February 16 for the broader gaming audience. The title will be available on platforms including PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Further ramping up the hype, a new closed beta period is set from December 15 to December 18. However, concerns have risen due to a reportedly toxic work environment at Ubisoft Singapore. The game has seen a high turnover in creative directors which may have impacted its development. Nonetheless, a preview from August suggested that 'Skull and Bones' could still deliver an enjoyable gaming experience, raising hopes that this release date will be the definitive one.

Gamers interested in all maritime adventure are now keeping their fingers crossed that 'Skull and Bones' will weather the storms it has faced in development and finally arrive with a treasure trove of gaming excitement.

When will 'Skull and Bones' be officially released?

'Skull and Bones' is officially set for release on February 16, 2024, for all players, with early access for Ubisoft+ subscribers starting on February 13, 2024.
