Ubisoft released an update for a multi -user action about Skull and Bones pirates, launching the second season of the second year of support called “The Vath of the War”.

The second is activated as the plot passes and opens access to the “wars of fractions”, the new plot tasks of the second year and more dangerous options for world events.
