New to Skull & Bones? Be sure to check out our review of the base game, which we scored a favorable 80/100:

“If you can stomach the rough seas of the early game, Skull & Bones has a bounty of live-service content on offer.

The end-game mechanics and loot loop rely completely and entirely on the combat system that, thankfully, is one that delivers with every firing of a cannon.

Taking over towns and cities, conquering trade routes, climbing the leaderboards – Skull & Bones is a thrilling ride. It’s just a shame that it can take 30–40 hours to get there.”

All those interested can get Skull and Bones on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and can also purchase Skull and Bones from the official Steam page.
