Ubisoft has revealed the start and end dates for the much-anticipated closed beta of Skull and Bones. Fans eager to experience the swashbuckling pirate adventure can mark their calendars for August 25-28. This exclusive pre-release phase will give players three full days to immerse themselves in the high seas saga.
Although the official release date for Skull and Bones has not been announced by Ubisoft, this closed beta is a promising taste of what’s to come. Originally revealed in 2017, the game has been highly anticipated by fans. Players in North and South America will have the advantage of accessing the closed beta earlier, as it goes live at 7pm PT / 10pm ET. For those in Europe and Oceania/Asia, the beta will be available starting at 3am BST/4am CEST and 12pm AET respectively.
Ubisoft has also shared the pre-load times for the closed beta period. In the US, pre-loading will begin on August 22, 2023 at 3am PT/6am ET. UK, EU, and Oceania/Asia players can start pre-loading at 11am BST/12pm CEST and 8pm AET on the same day.
It’s important to note that access to the closed beta will be by invitation only. If you’re interested in participating, it’s recommended to sign up in advance. However, there is a possibility of receiving an invite from a friend who has gained access. If you don’t have an access code during the pre-release phase, you may have to wait until the game’s official release to join the pirate adventure.
