Ubisoft has announced the official release date for its new pirate-themed title, Skull and Bones.

Earlier this week, loyal fans of the long-awaited Skull and Bones game were greeted with the game's worldwide gameplay debut. This was the first time they were able to get a good look at the experience awaiting them in the game — from controlling their ship to the important mechanics of the high seas. Of course, that wasn't all Ubisoft had up its sleeves. Alongside the visual debut, the company also announced the official release date for Skull and Bones.

Skull and Bones Release Date: When is it?

Fans will be able to get their hands on Skull and Bones this Nov. 8, 2022 — just in time for the holiday season.

Those who can't wait to set sail can get in on Ubisoft's Insider program via the official Skull and Bones website. Eligible players can sign-up to become the first line of playtesters before the game hits shelves, giving them a front-row view of everything up until its release.

For now, however, they'll just have to be content with the game's available artwork, trailer and soundtrack as developers prepare more tidbits to tide them over. Hopefully, after such a lengthy period with little to no updates, Ubisoft will be ready to open the floodgates.
