An excerpt from the latest patch notes shows: Skull and Bones’ worst bug is hopefully a thing of the past for good
You can probably recite it by now. Death mark expired. The helm has revoked your death mark. For now…

Skull and Bones is on the road to recovery. We don’t yet know exactly when the first season of the game with the fresh plague pirates will go online, but until then Ubisoft promises further patches and updates to prepare the pirate open world for it.
