Summary
Hey, rememberSkull And Bones? You should. It’s a live service game fromUbisoftthat’s not even six months old yet. The one that took more than a decade to make and is inspired by the bits of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag where you sail around on a ship. You know, the best bits. Anyway, it’s on sale right now for $14.99 rather than the usual $70.
The deeply discountedPS5version of Skull And Bones is currently available on Woot, which means you don’t have long to pick up the pirate game for almost 80 percent off. If you’ve not heard of Woot, it’s an Amazon-owned site, its gimmick being that its deals are only available for a day. After today is over, Skull And Bones, and everything else Woot has discounted for the day, will return to its normal price.
That gives you until 1 am EST on Tuesday morning to grab Ubisoft’s latest live service adventure for considerably less through the link below. As hinted at above, Skull And Bones endured a lengthy development. First announced in 2013, there came a point where the game was overhauled entirely. It was rebooted and delayed so many times that roughly a year ago, I was convinced the game was a social experiment created to test how many times a game could be delayed before people stopped believing it was even real.

WHERE TO PLAY
Skull and Bones is a pirate-based action game from Ubisoft, with persistent open-world multiplayer. Set in the Indian Ocean, you must raise your reputation as a pirate, build and command ships, and loot to your heart’s content.
Skull And Bones was real and it has been here for almost six months. The trouble is, after a decade of build, it hasn’t really lived up to the hype. In Ubisoft’s defense, living up to a decade of hype would be almost impossible for any game. The live service landscape has also become one where people expect its games to be free, something that didn’t become a thing until long after development had begun on Skull And Bones.
I’ve written about Skull And Bones discounts a lot during the game’s first six months, and other than the limited time offers during which the game has been available to try for free, this is the deepest discount the game has received so far. As someone who has played more Skull and Bones than the average gamer, I believe it’s worth more than $15. However, I also think the Skull And Bones ship may have already sailed and that any potential audience it had has already moved on.
