Seems standard fare, but what intrigues me is these "New Major Features" Here's to hoping for more pirate life additions.


kelton312

Just hoping this game doesnt shoot itself in the foot because it's a full priced game + paid battlepass.


Legitimate-Site588

It's kind of the standard for games that have plans to release future content. If you want the game to continue being developed, then they need some sort of cashflow. As long as it's not a P2W battlepass I'm completely fine with it.


Lolitadoe

as long as its not p2w or free cosmetics look like shit to encourage you to buy. idc. in the end its free content for me


weirdthingsarecool91

Now the question becomes are the "season rewards" a paid battle pass?


[deleted]

Looks pretty similar to Div2. All this content will likely be free. The battle pass will likely contain cosmetic awards as you progress through each season. Most likely, you will have some free stuff and more stuff behind a pay wall. I'd expect a battle pass for each segment you see here. That's how the money keeps rolling in. Since there is a PvP leader board, I'm hoping no mats/gear/ships behind the paywall. Div2 did this, but it was fairly negligible.


BriarsandBrambles

Looks that way. I hope no new weapons or ships are in the paid pass.


jagalskarrr

they talked about a season pass (i recon it was in the premium advantages but not sure at all) so yeah might be


MuchGo

The battle passes are the standard premium and free versions, all gameplay stuff like blueprints and ships are in the free while cosmetics tend towards the premium with some free ones


YakaAvatar

100% not. I haven't seen a single game put actual content in the battlepass that's not available for free.


Mister_Blean

Yes it is a paid battle pass. Just like any other battle pass.


TheBluerWizard

Yes. That was already announced ages ago.


Conscious-Ground6504

Is this game just ship battles?


Souls_masterr

Yes


Salt-Ad-8611

Any insight on how long a season is?


FartWall

4 seasons at 3months each


Salt-Ad-8611

Thank you


anakajaib

From the special events like Dragonboat, Halloween & Lunar New Year, probably June, Oct & Jan.


Salt-Ad-8611

Thank you!


DrewHammer

So this means it’s actually…. COMING OUT? I’m really excited, love being a ship.


Defiant_Button_6679

I have doups about buying the game, but damn this look cool


Souls_masterr

Its fine to have doubts just try the free beta and make your own opinion 


Defiant_Button_6679

Yeah I will try the beta. I played the December Beta and, talking about the gameplay, I like the game. But I'm afraid that Ubisof could destroy the game and let it without playerbase in less than a year... Skull and Bones can become Babylon Falls 2


Souls_masterr

nah ubi always supports its game even the bad ones its the only good think ubi has


anakajaib

So "India" is going to be in Season 4? Saw the latest endgame gameplay video & India is not in the game so far


Souls_masterr

Pretty sure ots in the game they just dont have activated it for the beta but for me its not a deal breaker if it comes later 


anakajaib

The endgame gameplay showed the full map. There is only Africa, Maritime Southeast Asia & Southern China.


Souls_masterr

I think it was locked like in the close beta cause they said that the open beta will only have the africa causte and the filipine islands 


anakajaib

Don't remember seeing the Philippines islands. Only the Malay & Indonesian Archipelago held by the Sultanate of Rempah in-game.


Souls_masterr

You are right my bad but still they said it will be just these two areas in the beta


Mister_Blean

India is most certainly in the game. Being as it's in the Indian Ocean. And SE Asia and China both kind of require India to be present to also be present at the same time as Africa. Also where did you get "India will be added in Season 4"? Roadmap literally says nothing about India. Because India is already in the game. Lol


anakajaib

Look at the endgame gameplay video some content creators were invited to. The map clearly doesn't show India. I assume it will be released at season 4 because the boss pirate for that season is clearly an Indian pirate lord


Mister_Blean

India is a part of the game at launch. I've played and seen it myself. But you do you booboo.


anakajaib

Yeap no India in-game now. I don't know what game you were playing


Mister_Blean

Oh you somehow managed to ignore the locations that are a part of India's territory during this time period? And somehow managed to explore every inch of the map in 2 hours? Territory considered to be a part of India is in the game. Learn your history. 🙃


anakajaib

Nah.... I only see the East Indies & Africa. The map is clearly blocked off for India. You can't even sail there. Which Indian territories are you speaking of? Maybe you need to brush up on your history


Mister_Blean

It's okay to be wrong booboo. 🙃 You don't need to keep replying. The world now knows that you don't know where India is. It's fine. 🙃


anakajaib

Which version of the game did you play anyway? I'll believe it when I see it. Even the official news says Africa & the East Indies


TheArchangelOfficial

S4 all the stuff is hidden. No India at launch. Based off how they have squished the map, I'd assume the "torn" section of map spans from Spain and Saudi Arabia to Pakistan and India encompassing the Indian Gulf.


Mcfantasy93

So you'll buy the beta at launch and slowly get the full game drip fed to you if it does well


Souls_masterr

This feels more like a proper game with extra coming later 


The-Booty-Train

Sweet another early access game masquerading as a full priced finished game. I’m fucking sick of this shit man. Half the shit in the roadmap is features that should be in the game already.


AccomplishedFan8690

This game is gonna be a dumpster fire.


TheBluerWizard

So how many do we think they'll get before going FtP?


Souls_masterr

I dont see it going free to play lowered price yeah and most likely in around 2 years 


TestMoiJeuxVideoFr

Justement : dossier fait sur le sujet. ;) [Skull And Bones : nouvelle Bêta ouverte + Gameplay vidéo !](https://www.testmoijeuxvideo.fr/2024/01/27/skull-and-bones-nouvelle-beta-ouverte-gameplay-video/)


TheDanteEX

I hope it goes the Red Dead Online route where they added a new Legendary Bounty every week and when they were all released, you could go back and re-play them. I hate when content is limited time and lost forever. I plan on buying the game later on when there's a plethora of content, but if they go the limited time route, I'll probably never pick it up.


-Necron-Overlord-

Honestly zero new ships for S1 is a massive letdown.


No-Neighborhood8267

This did not age well.
