Players can now choose between the DMC and the Compagnie Royale as both sides battle for control over key territories. Victory brings exclusive seasonal rewards, reputation, and new customization options.
In addition to faction wars, Guts and Glory introduces the Smugglers Pass, offering players access to new cosmetics, items, and the powerful Sloop of War ship. The update also debuts the Armor Ascension system, allowing captains to upgrade their armor and improve ship durability in combat.

Skull and Bones continues to focus on multiplayer gameplay, encouraging teamwork, trade, and rivalry on the high seas. The game is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
