The Skull and Bones Closed Beta, Ubisoft's long-awaited open-world pirate simulator, now starts from Aug 25 to 28. The Close Beta allows players who are invited are able to invite another two friends to take part in the Close Beta with them.

According to Ubisoft's information, in The Skull and Bones Closed Beta, players will be pirates  sailing freely across and explore a large portion of open seas around the Red Isle and Coast of Africa. And there are some tips that players need to know, which will help players become  high-level pirates. 

The pirate den of Sainte-Anne is a safe zone for players to trade, craft, customize, and much more, and players can meet many NPCs to get missions and rewards.

During sailing, players' crew will offer a lot of help, such as warning players of the ships approaching out of view, informing players of some supplies floating in the water or crafting material to harvest nearby and so on. 

Managing the loot you plunder on the high seas is also important because the space in your cargo hold is limited. Therefore, it is necessary for players to form the habit of checking your cargo every time before sailing. 

Besides, the spyglass is a valuable tool in sailing and exploring, which can help players detect enemy ship in advance and know the information of enemy. In addition, inspecting a merchant can discover the trade routes they are moving on. Through it, players can discover new trade routes and get clues of new locations to explore and plunder. 

More gameplay and content are waiting for players to explore and discover. It is time to download The Skull and Bones Closed Beta to play and enjoy the experience of being a pirate.
