When is the Skull and Bones release date? We’ve lost count of how many times the pirate game has been pushed back, but we’re not worried – despite a fairly cynical opinion across the board, what we’ve seen of Skull and Bones so far has given us more than a few reasons to be optimistic.

With Skull and Bones now years in the making, surely we can hope for a more fine-tuned adventure and a worthy contender among the best pirate games. While the game has been delayed multiple times, we know that more closed beta tests are happening behind the scenes and progress is still being made. After all, Ubisoft has assured us that they’re spending time on the development process to ensure we’re getting the best product available. While the development team works away, we’ve plundered the murky depths of Davy Jones’s locker to bring you the latest Skull and Bones release date, gameplay news, ship customization, and everything else you need to know about this upcoming nautical adventure.
