The game's success and player reception will be closely watched following its launch next week.
Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot has described the long-awaited pirate ship game Skull and Bones as a "quadruple-A" live-service project, justifying its £70 price tag by emphasizing its vast and complete nature, as well as its support for a battle pass, premium currency, and in-game store. After an 11-year development period and multiple delays, the game is set to launch on February 16 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with an open beta available until February 12.
