Skull and Bones Season 1 Patch Notes are Here, Know What's New

The eagerly awaited Skull and Bones Season 1 Patch Notes have arrived, heralding the launch of the game's inaugural official season. This update brings a plethora of adjustments, enhancements, and bug fixes.

Of particular significance is the elimination of the looming reset timer, which has been a source of concern throughout Season 0.

Here's a comprehensive overview of all the features and changes arriving with the release of Skull and Bones Season 1 on February 27th.
