Ubisoft has revealed the full first year of major content for Skull and Bones, with the complete roadmap showing off four seasons’ worth of new bosses, events, and much more.
Skull and Bones features the usual slew of live-service support and features, including microtransactions and multi-seasonal additions. Instead of keeping potential pirates waiting, Ubisoft has released the complete roadmap featuring a breakdown of the four seasons ahead. Each season will last for three months, inject fresh blood and new faces, and provide a wealth of rewards.
Skull and Bones Year One season one: Raging Tides
Up first is the Raging Tides seasonal content that launches on Feb. 27. Each season will feature a new boss encounter, and season one kicks off with Phillipe La Peste. Described as the “dreaded pirate lord of the Caribbean” coming to the Indian Ocean “in search of power, riches, and a cure for his festering afflictions,” La Peste should be a formidable foe.
In addition to this, brace yourself for Faction Convoys and new Territory Control gameplay. Season one will also introduce the first mega-sea battle against the Tylosaurus—I expect you’ll need a solid ship armed to the teeth with cannons and armor to stand a chance!
There will also be new Hostile Takeover and Legendary Heist opportunities, along with Season Rewards to accumulate throughout the three months. Here’s the full list of season one content:
- Philippe La Peste boss
- Faction Convoys
- Kingpin Tylosaurus
- Territory Control
- New Takeover Opportunities
- Season Rewards
Skull and Bones Year One season two: Chorus of Havoc
Once season one is over, it’ll be time to move on to the Chorus of Havoc. We start to see a familiar pattern of content seeping into each launch—but season two differs slightly with its Dragon Boat Event.
As with almost everything we’ve seen so far, we’ve no idea what it entails, so stay tuned. In the meantime, we know that epic monster is arriving courtesy of The Megalodon. The Hubac Twins will fill the role of the main boss, and the standard collection of gameplay switch-ups, Takeover opportunities, and Seasonal Rewards beckon. Check out the complete list here:
- Hubac Twins boss
- Dragon Boat Event
- Compagnie Warship
- The Megalodon
- Fleet Management
- New Takeover Opportunities
- Season Rewards
Skull and Bones Year One season three: Into The Dragon’s Wake
Moving into the second half of the year, Into The Dragon’s Wake is where things start to become a little less clear, with the developer looking to get players more invested and up-to-speed with the first couple of seasons.
While information is sparse, the major boss has been unveiled—Li Tian Ning—and Halloween is rightfully going to be celebrated with a special as-yet-unannounced event. Other content is promised in the form of a new sea creature to fight, extra gameplay features, and more of the same of what we’ve come to expect from seasons one and two.
- Li Tian Ning boss
- Halloween Event
- New World Events
- Legendary Sea Monster
- New Major Feature
- New Takeover Opportunities
- Season Rewards
Skull and Bones Year One season four: Shadows of the Deep
Shadows of the Deep will wrap up the first year of Skull and Bones seasonal offerings. The road to Christmas starts here and includes the most obfuscated boss yet with the intriguing “Mystery Rival” tag.
The Lunar New Year Event is locked in. Everything else follows the same format as season three in that we’ll see what’s coming as the weeks and months tick along.
- Battle Mystery Rival
- Lunar New Year Event
- New World Events
- Legendary Sea Monster
- New Major Feature
- New Takeover Opportunities
- Season Rewards
Once the live-service model properly kicks in, you can use the Smuggler’s Pass Token to unlock some of those premium seasonal rewards.
