7 Comments

Ubisoft has announced that a new video for its upcoming pirate game Skull and Bones will drop tomorrow. The upcoming video will focus on the game lore and show off exclusive gameplay.

In a Twitter post, the Skull and Bones team explained why the game has been delayed yet again by saying:

"Our determination and focus remain the same -- Offer the best in-game experience possible to our players from day 1. This extra time will help us in providing further polish and balancing to our game experience, following your feedback from previous test."

The post goes on to explain that even though the game still needs to be worked on, they plan on giving regular updates to fans about the game's status. There will also be additional information about the new release date and upcoming test phases "very soon."

It was previously reported that Ubisoft has assembled a "strike team" at the Ubisoft Paris studio to work alongside Ubisoft Singapore (the lead studio for Skull and Bones) to help ensure that the game is finished.

A pirate flag is such an appropriate symbol for Ubisoft.

With how Ubisoft has been handle their IPs for like the paste 5 years.

I couldn't care even if they gave it to me for free, with a PS5 or XBSX.

I lost all interest in Skull & Bones. Not because of the delay, the recent gameplays killed my hype for this game.

@davillain: You mean it doesn't look as good as the ship gameplay in AC4? Because that's the primary reason I ever cared about this game. I couldn't get past the generic AC gameplay, but I loved the naval warfare.

Who cares - another delay and everything is the same. Release it or just scrap it already. From all the testers I know that have played it, it's horrible anyway.

@Utnayan: According to an article Kotaku published in July 2021, Ubisoft Shanghai gets "generous subsidies" from Singapore. That deal not only requires the studio to hire a certain number of employees, it requires the studio to release orginal new IP. Legally, Ubisoft can't kill Skull & Bones. By pushing it into FY2024 it appears Ubisoft's hoping AC: Mirage and other games will keep investors from noticing if/when this game bombs.
