To say that Skull and Bones is not having the public success that Ubisoft would certainly have hoped for upon announcement would be an understatement. But it is also true that the announcement actually dates back to 2013, when the project was initially conceived as a large-scale expansion of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.\r\nThis would in fact be enough to understand why the game is on the high seas (!) and the results are proving to be rather lukewarm, as we have reported to you in recent weeks. \r\nThe French company, however, is trying to do its best to introduce new players to the pirate-themed title and, in view of a season 2, has announced a week of free play that you can join soon.\n r\nSo, although Ubisoft was quick to talk about the «great involvement» of the players, from May 30th to June 6th you will have the opportunity to access and play Skull & Bones on PC for free (via Ubisoft Connect and Epic Games Store), on PlayStation 5 and on Xbox Series pic.twitter.com/ArjB6gs6Pw— Skull and Bones (@skullnbonesgame) May 25, 2024\n\n\n \n \n This content is hosted on an external platform.

However, the limitations of the gaming experience are numerous and structural, as we reported in our complete review.
