Skull and Bones had a spotlight in Ubisoft Forward. The new content features ships, monsters, and rewards for the community. While the ‘AAAA‘ game has yet to reach a massive audience, Ubisoft is committed to supporting the game.
The action-adventure open-world pirate game fans have wanted for years but when it finally launched, it left much to be desired. Which makes many people question these new updates: Skull and Bones still has players?
Season 2 and Beyond: The Skull and Bones Updates
The open-world pirate adventure just concluded Season 1, Raging Tides. This next season, Chorus of Havoc, is adding more content for gameplay and story. The Hubac Twins, Armand and Bertrand, will be featured as you challenge their orchestral fleet for rewards if you are victorious.
There will also be a new ship called The Brig. A warship that will help in tackling the new sea monster: The Megalodon, Lestari. Time-limited events, solo or PvE events, and other rewards will be up for grabs this season. Season 2 is available now.
Season 3 is coming out later this summer, called Into the Dragon’s Wake. Li Tian Ning will make an appearance alongside the Flying Dragon as a new sea monster to conquer.
More importantly, the 5v5 PvP mode will drop and is noted as a key component for the season as a whole. If you’re still playing the game or are looking to join the community, Ubisoft has content planned for the rest of the year.
How Long Will Skull and Bones Survive?
Despite poor reception, it seems Ubisoft will continue to support Skull and Bones for the rest of 2024. For a game over a decade in development, the studio might as well play it out and see if future updates can pull new players into the pirate action-adventure.

The team is adding a sizable amount of content for players to enjoy. In addition, the Season 2 update adds community requested features like fleet management.
It’s all up in the air if Skull and Bones can truly turn things around and amass a sizable player base to continue development for years and years. Some YouTube comments question if anyone still plays this game or if the audience even exists.
Only time will tell if the developers can turn this game around or if it was dead at sea from the start.
