Skull and Bones' first season, Raging Tides, is starting on February 27, 2024, and there will be a short maintenance period before the launch.

Here's when the game will go offline in preparation for Raging Tides' release, how long downtime will last, and when you can start playing Skull and Bones Season 1.

Skull and Bones Season 1 maintenance

The Skull and Bones servers will go down for maintenance on Feb. 27, 2024 (late in the evening on Feb. 26 in the US), to get everything ready for Season 1 Raging Tides' release. Here's the exact time the game will go offline in your time zone:

PST (US Pacific Time): 6:00 p.m. on Feb. 26
EST (US Eastern Time): 9:00 p.m. on Feb. 26
GMT (UK Time): 2:00 a.m. on Feb. 27
CET (Central Europe): 3:00 a.m. on Feb. 27
EET (Eastern Europe): 4:00 a.m. on Feb. 27
IST (India): 7:30 a.m. on Feb. 27
JST (Japan): 11 a.m. on Feb. 27
AEDT (Australia): 1:00 p.m. on Feb. 27
NZDT (New Zealand): 3 p.m. on Feb. 27

You won't be able to log into the game during the maintenance period.

Ubisoft has given players a heads-up about the downtime via the official Skull and Bones Twitter/X account, and the game will likely start notifying everyone a couple of hours before the servers go offline.

Heads up! There is a maintenance coming your way tomorrow, February 27th.
While we get everything ready for Season 1, you will not be able to access #SkullAndBones.
