Ubisoft Again Delays Skull & Bones Pirate Game Release

Although his name is very widely known as a developer who can produce AAA games in a short time, Ubisoft can sometimes delay the course of a project for a long time. Besides Beyond Good and Evil 2, Another game that also suffers from this condition is Skull & Bones. Since it was officially announced at E3 2017, the game has experienced a release delay, which was originally targeted for 2018 and has now been pushed to an uncertain schedule.

Through its latest financial report that was shared yesterday, Ubisoft again had to delay the release of Skull & Bones. The new schedule that he has set this time is more uncertain, namely in 2022 and 2023, which gives an indication that the game development process is undergoing significant changes or may encounter problems that require a long process to overcome.

The news of this delay is unfortunately not in line with what CEO Yves Guillemot reported last year, where he said that the game development process was going very smoothly and was ready to be released in 2021. Ubisoft’s focus on increasing their revenue until the next fiscal year will focus more on the Far game project. Cry 6, Rainbow Six Quarantine, Riders Republic, The Division Heartland and Roller Champions.

Regarding the game itself, Skull & Bones is the latest pirate adventure game that focuses on looting action and epic naval battles. The main concept of this game takes strong inspiration from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag which gets a positive reception from its very well-worked pirate theme, especially from the exciting naval battle gameplay. This game is planned to be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC which will likely also be added with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions.

With the development process that has been going on for a long time, we hope that this game can be polished with better quality. If the rumors about the development process being repeated are true, then Ubisoft could just bring the concept of a pirate game even wilder. Only time that can answer..
