I was just shocked to hear\u00a0Skull & Bones\u00a0<\/em>is still holding on<\/h2>

I have to admit, I’m a sucker for pirate media. I might be a more casual fan than most, but when it comes to swashbuckling adventure, I’m always down. That’s why I’ve been quietly listening to news of\u00a0Skull & Bones<\/em> over the past five years, and although I’m still quite skeptical of how the game will turn out, I’m holding out hope that it will deliver the pirate adventure I’ve been craving since\u00a0Sea of Thieves.<\/em><\/p>

After a long stretch of radio silence, Ubisoft updated us last month with their financial report<\/a>, letting us know that the game is still in development, and apparently, that it’s going quite well. I’ll believe it when I see it, though, because Ubisoft Singapore, the studio helming Skull & Bones’<\/em> development, has had its fair share of controversies come to light over the past few years, from workplace toxicity<\/a> to sexual harassment claims<\/a>.<\/p>

In spite of all of that,\u00a0Skull & Bones<\/em> has somehow survived development hell and continued forward, so much so that Ubisoft has announced they’re looking for playtesters to try out the game in something they’re dubbing the Insider Program, an “on-going live testing initiative.”<\/p>

We are kicking off our Insider Program, a unique opportunity for a selected few to test early versions of Skull and Bones & share feedback. Apply now if you think you have what it takes!<\/p>
