Ubisoft announced today that Skull & Bones has been delayed yet again. Players eager to finally try out this new pirate combat game will unfortunately have to wait even longer. According to the latest financial results by Ubisoft, the game is targeting a fiscal year 2022 release. This means that the game is expected to release between April 2022 and March 2023. Here’s what chief financial officer Frédérick Duguet and CEO Yves Guillemot had to say about the delay (thanks VGC):
Frédérick Duguet: “We strongly believe in the team’s creative vision and they have been given an increasingly ambitious mandate for the game,” he said. “Production led by [Ubisoft] Singapore has been advancing well over the past 12 months and the promise is better than ever. The additional time will allow the team to fully deliver on its vision.
Singapore developed unique experience in naval combat contributing to Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag.”
Yves Guillemot: “The Singapore studio has been developing for a long time a big part of the Assassin’s Creed franchise so it’s a really good studio.
“What we have been doing to make sure they could really come strongly with Skull & Bones is we increased the associate studios that are working with them at the moment so there’s a good and big team now working on the game and the last 12 months have really been good in terms of the way things were coming along, so we are confident they can really bring something really exceptional for the market.”
Skull & Bones was originally announced during E3 2017. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest gaming news and support us on Patreon!
