Skull and Bones had a rough launch, as I said in my review, I hope that the game’s community events, DLC, and online players will keep the ship afloat and that Ubisoft will continue to improve the game’s narrative to create a more immersive experience for players.
From what we have seen with the content released so far, Ubisoft has listened to its fans and is now offering some great content for fans of the game to play! Season 4 is now live on all platforms and this is what came with the latest update!
Season 4 “Shadows of the Deep” brings extensive new content to all players for free:
- Sea Lord – Vikram Rajan has invaded the seas on the long-lost Schaduw, threatening your hold on the Indian Ocean. Vikram is driven by anger, particularly against the Dutch Merchant Company and its Commodore Jonas “Wolf Hunter“ Vanderkill.
- New Ship & Weapons – Players will be able to acquire a new ship – the Garuda – that deals optimal damage at long range and specializes in Piercing weapons. Unique new weapons including the Soulshield Springloader, which creates a dome of Soul Magic to protect your allies, or the Gatling Gun, will be incorporated into the game.
- New Difficulty – Skull and Bones Season 4 is implementing a Mythic difficulty tier. While in the Mythic tier, players will take on seasonal bosses who have modified combat, like increased rate of fire, enhanced damage, increased movement speed, and more.
- Time-Limited Events – The Azure Solstice limited-time event will see the Azure Fleet invade the Indian Ocean. Defeating them will reward players with a Life-Stealing Long Gun. During the event, players will also be able to give Winter Gifts to various NPCs in return for reward chests. Megalodons will take over the seas during the Enter the Nian event, culminating in an elite boss warship that will require teamwork to take down.
- New Game Mode and threats – In the new Ghost Ship Defense mode, players will have to protect their owned manufactories from a ghostly assailant looking to take over your Helm operations. Additionally, Vikram has raised two sea monsters from the dead, the Tylosaurus and the Megalodon, and they are looking to take their revenge.
