Skull And Bones Finally Begins Closed Beta Testing After Six Major Delays
After a total of six delays and some time spent gathering dust on Ubisoft’s digital back shelves, Skull and Bones has finally begun closed beta testing. The pirate-MMO-turned-multiplayer game was first announced at E3 2017 back when E3 was still a thing, and after an extremely arduous development journey, those who received a closed beta invite (or received one from their friend) can now set sail for the virtual coasts of Africa.
“Located within the Red Isle is the pirate den of Sainte Anne. Ruled by John Scurlock, the local Kingpin you’ll deal with as you start your rise to the top of the pirate world. This den is a safe zone where you can interact with other players, craft your ships, weapons, and equipment with the help of the skilled artisans who have made their home here.”
If you weren’t lucky enough to receive a closed beta key, don’t give up hope just yet. Ubisoft is looking to invite more testers in this weekend. “We know many are still hoping to get into our Closed Beta – so we’ve opened our hatches to let more of you in,” the studio said. “Keep an eye on your mailbox for an email containing download instructions, and make good use of those friends invites!”
Note that this leg of the closed beta test is exclusive to PC. It also isn’t covered by an NDA so expect to see a flood of streams, clips, and screenshots flood the interwebs throughout the weekend.
