Ubisoft has unveiled a poison-themed medium sloop, a Mythic La Peste world boss that amplifies toxin damage, and the framework for faction warfare in the latest producer’s letter for its pirate sandbox Skull and Bones. The new hull is designed around stacking corrosive payloads and will enter testing soon, while the redesigned La Peste encounter forces crews to manage escalating venom zones across the deck. A territory-control layer is also being layered over existing open-water maps, letting companies pledge to one of three factions and fight for persistent nodes that unlock exclusive blueprint vendors and global buffs. Additional weapon archetypes, limited-time events and further narrative beats tied to the poison storyline are scheduled to roll out through the end of 2025. The full update is available on the official site.
