    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Ubisoft has confirmed another Skull and Bones closed beta test for later this month.

    Skull and Bones was announced back in 2017 and was originally scheduled for
    a 2018 launch, however, following a series of delays the open-world pirate game received a new November 2022 release window. Unfortunately, the game didn't end up meeting that estimate and was delayed once again following its first gameplay reveal.

    Now we're over mid-way through 2023, Ubisoft has confirmed that a new closed beta will be available to players this month, suggesting the company may have a new release date in mind (via PCGamer ).

    To take part in the closed beta, players must sign up at ubisoft.com and then wait for an invitation in their inbox. The test officially starts on August
    24 at 7PM PT / August 25 at 3AM BST / August 25 at 4AM CEST, but players can begin preloading on August 22 at 3PM PT / 11AM BST / 12PM CEST.
