Ubisoft has just launched ‘Oaths of War,’ the second season of Skull and Bones Year 2 content! Tensions are soaring across the Indian Ocean as the DMC and the Compagnie Royale plunge into total war, unleashing massive warships and a reinforced megafort in a ruthless struggle for domination.

This exciting new season is now available, bringing a wealth of new features and improvements to the treacherous waters of Skull and Bones. All this is playable in the cloud via Xbox, Luna, GeForce Now, Blacknut, and many other cloud gaming services!

The Frigate: A New Class of Warship

Prepare to command the seas with the introduction of the Frigate, the first-ever playable large ship in Skull and Bones. This formidable vessel boasts unmatched firepower. Equipped with up to 34 gun ports, two auxiliary stations, and a brand-new perk called “Grit.” The Frigate is poised to become a truly dominant force on the high seas. All by granting players unprecedented control and destruction capabilities.

Conquer the Megafort Wolvenhol

Captains from across the Indian Ocean will need to unite their forces to tackle the Megafort Wolvenhol. This near-impregnable stronghold guards precious Ascension materials and is a true test of skill and teamwork. Expect layered defenses, unique encounter phases, and powerful minibosses as you attempt to breach this fortified bastion.

Faction War: Loyalty and Betrayal

Launching mid-season, the new Faction War feature will escalate the Franco-Dutch conflict to new heights. Players will take on the role of Privateers, where loyalty is as valuable as the treasure they seek. Engage in large-scale invasion events across the Indian Ocean to earn war assets and bolster your chosen faction. The stakes are high: at the conclusion of each Battle Phase, you’ll face a crucial decision – remain loyal or betray your faction, with each choice shaping the very course of the war.

New Smuggler Pass Content and Quality of Life Improvements

This season’s Smuggler Pass is packed with new content, including the powerful Frigate, explosive new weapons, robust armor, and a range of captivating cosmetic rewards.

In addition, ‘Oaths of War’ brings some welcome Quality of Life improvements:

  • Wind & Sailing Improvements: Experience more responsive and skill-based sailing, granting players greater control and precision at sea.
  • Custom Loadouts Presets: A new feature allowing you to save custom loadouts and instantly apply them to any ship before setting sail, streamlining your preparation for battle.
