After a long wait and numerous postponements, the pirate fighting game Skull and Bones is finally in the home stretch on February 16, and Ubisoft has now announced that we will be able to play it ahead of time: on February 8 a 4-day Open Beta is coming, until the 11th, which will give us a taste of the upcoming game.

The Open Beta will be a free early access to the game, since it will include most of the game's features and will allow us to maintain progress in the final game. Cross-play support will also be active, thus allowing us to fight with pirates sailing on other platforms.

These are the timing of the Beta, with the Italian times:

• Pre-load: February 6 at 10:00 a.m.
• Open Beta Starts: February 8 03:00
• End of Open Beta: February 11 23:59

Here's a trailer that introduces us to the Beta. Enjoy!
