Setting Sail for Early Access
Prepare to set sail on the high seas of Skull and Bones earlier than anticipated, without the need for a pre-order or premium purchase. Ubisoft+ Premium membership opens the doors to early access starting on February 13, three days prior to the official release date.
The journey of Ubisoft Singapore's live-service pirate game has been a long and tumultuous one, spanning over a decade of development that began in 2013. After enduring 11 years, three creative directors, and multiple delays, Skull and Bones is finally ready to make its debut on PC and current-generation consoles on February 16.
Unlocking Early Access Opportunities
Unlike traditional AAA releases, Skull and Bones offers early access not only through premium purchases but also via the Ubisoft+ Premium subscription. By investing $17.99 in the membership, players gain entry to the Digital Premium edition and secure their spot in the exclusive three-day early access period.
To embark on the early access voyage from February 13 to February 15, players can choose to purchase the Digital Premium edition for $89.99 or pre-order the base version at $69.99 before February 12. This unique approach ensures that the thrill of Skull and Bones is accessible to all adventurers.
Embracing the Early Access Experience
Anticipation builds as the opportunity to play Skull and Bones early draws near, following the recent open beta. While reports of connection issues surfaced during the beta phase, the upcoming early access promises an immersive and exciting gameplay experience for all players. Stay tuned to see if the challenges of the high seas will test your mettle!
