There’s no doubt that Skull and Bones was sailing through rough seas at launch. But, credit where it’s due, Ubisoft hasn’t abandoned its long-in-development, ‘quad-A’ pirate multiplayer game. Another new update has just arrived, which includes – among other things – a large ship and a faction war to delve into. Even better, it’s currently free to play for the weekend, with an 80% discount on Steam if you fancy sticking with it.
