Remember Skull and Bones? No? Well, Ubisoft is letting everyone play it for free for a week anyway

You might need forgotten Cranium and Bones, but it surely’s again to remind you it exists with an upcoming free week.

Oh boy. Cranium and Bones was by no means going to come back out to rave evaluations, given simply what number of occasions it was delayed previous to its launch. When it did lastly launch in… February (yeesh, that actually did simply come and go, huh), it was in the end met with fairly common evaluations, and on the bodily gross sales entrance it offered lower than 1 / 4 of Sea of Thieves’ launch figures, which does not sound nice total, even in a digital age. However maybe all just isn’t misplaced, as there’s at all times the chance Ubisoft will pull a No Man’s Sky and truly carry Cranium and Bones to the heights it might obtain (although I do doubt it). However even with that unfavorable important reception, it is at all times potential you need to strive the sport out for your self, and also you’re in luck as a result of from subsequent week, it will be obtainable to play totally free for a complete week!

As detailed on Ubisoft’s web site, Cranium and Bones is getting a free week from Could 30 to June 6 the place you’ll be able to “battle your means by treacherous waters, as you rise to develop into essentially the most notorious pirate captain!” It goes on to clarify that “throughout this free week, you’re free to play any content material you need, whether or not it’s to progress by the primary storyline or sort out difficult content material with your mates.” On high of that, “each achievement, each treasure, and each ship improve you unlock through the free week might be ready for you” for those who resolve to buy the sport after the trial interval ends.

Ubisoft does observe that Cranium and Bones can also be 50% off on all platforms for a restricted time to assist tempt you to choose it up, although from what I can inform the one place the low cost is energetic on the time of writing is the Epic Video games Retailer, and the premium version of the sport for any platform on Ubisoft’s personal retailer, however heading to the official Xbox and PlayStation shops would not present any type of low cost, so is perhaps value keeping track of issues there.

This free week can also be fairly conveniently timed, as Cranium and Bones’ season 2 drops subsequent week, Could 28, so for those who’re fast you may even be capable of examine a few of that out.
