Development began over a decade ago as a massively-multiplayer expansion for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The open world campaign invites players to sail the Indian Ocean on a customizable pirate ship, plundering trade routes in single-player or co-op play. Disputed Waters, a separate player-versus-player mode, allows up to five players to butt heads in tactical marine battles.
Ubisoft Music published the digital edition of the Original Game Soundtrack, available through streaming platforms. The 26-track album is available through Apple Music, YouTube Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music Unlimited. Laced Records of London pressed the soundtrack, composed by Tom Holkenborg, aka Junkie XL, on deluxe double vinyl, available for shipping from the publisher.
Skull and Bones by Ubisoft Singapore is available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, along with Windows through the Epic Games Store. The Premium Edition includes the Art of Skull and Bones digital art book and the Selected Game Soundtrack.
