Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones, a captivating pirate-themed action RPG set in the Indian Ocean, launched on February 16. Following a decade of development delays and a challenging beta phase, this eagerly awaited open-world game is finally navigating the high seas. Here are all the all the editions and pre-order bonuses.

Born from the legacy of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Skull and Bones has grown beyond its initial inspiration to stand as a monumental testament to Ubisoft’s commitment to delivering expansive open-world experiences.

When it first premiered back at E3 2017, the developer promised it would take the naval mechanics of Black Flag to another level. In Skull and Bones players take on the role of a run-of-the-mill pirate brigand, and embark on a quest to become the high seas’ most infamous swashbuckler.

Here are all the editions available for pre-order, and what each of them includes as rewards.
