Summary
Skull And Boneshasn’t been the mega-hitUbisofthoped it might be. The problem is, unlike some other games, the studio can’t simply move on from it and chalk the game’s underperformance up to experience. Too much time and money was invested into Skull And Bones' development so the game has to be a success. That’s why despite it being described asthe world’s first quad-A gameby Ubisoft’s CEO, you’re able to already pick up Skull And Bones for $20 less than three months after its release.
Just to hammer home how telling that is when it comes to Skull And Bones underperforming, this is a $70 game. Ubisoft tends to reduce the prices of its games relatively quickly, but not like this.The publisher’s Legendary Salecuts some of its top titles by 85 percent, and Skull And Bones has been included in that sale. Listed as $59.99 prior to its discount - which suggests a permanent price cut considering it’s $70 elsewhere - the sale brings its price down to $29.99.
Ubisoft is offering a further discount on the game though, and all you have to do is take one very easy additional step before you check out. After adding the game to your cart, there will be an option to enter a promo code. Enter the code LEGEND24 in the box and Ubisoft will knock an additional $10 off the price, bringing the cost of Skull And Bones down to just $19.99. The only downside is it only appears to apply to thePCversion of the game, although it’s worth checking if you can pick up thePS5andXboxcopies of the game for the same price.
Skull and Bones
WHERE TO PLAY
Skull and Bones is a pirate-based action game from Ubisoft, with persistent open-world multiplayer. Set in the Indian Ocean, you must raise your reputation as a pirate, build and command ships, and loot to your heart’s content.
The coupon can be applied to anything on the site whether it’s included in the Legendary Sale or not. The only qualifier is your total needs to come to $19.99 or more. Since Skull And Bones is $29.99 right now, you’re able to save that additional $10 without having to buy anything else. There are a lot of other heavily discounted games on the Ubisoft store right now thoughincluding Prince of Persia: The Lost Crownfor just $29.99. Yes, that means you can apply the same process to that game instead, and not to add to Skull And Bones woes, but if you’ve got $20 to spend on a game and those two titles are your options, please, pick The Lost Crown.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is also includedin The Legendary Sale, down to $24.99, andso is Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, a game that was unfairly overlooked, partly due to how late in the year it was released. You can also use your LEGEND24 discounton a Star Wars Outlaws pre-orderif nothing Ubisoft has already released takes your fancy.
