Ubisoft's Skull & Bones Gets Delayed Again

Ubisoft's Skull & Bones has been delayed until at least 2022.
by Luke Luby on May 12, 2021   

Ubisoft's Skull & Bones hasn't had much of a great development, as the game has been repeatedly delayed. While these set it for a release sometime this year, a new announcement reveals that it won't be coming until sometime in 2022. However, it's possible that it could also be released in early 2023. That's primarily because the pirate game is now set to be released during the 2022-2023 fiscal year, which lasts between April 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023.

The last time the game was delayed was in September 2020. At the time, rumors were swirling that the title was getting a complete reboot. This wasn't helped by the developer saying that there was a "new vision" for the game. As Elisabeth Pellen, the creative director of the game noted at the time:

"Many of you have been wondering why we’ve had to postpone our launch. The answer is that we simply needed more time. We dreamt something bigger for Skull & Bones, and these ambitions naturally came with bigger challenges. These difficulties resulted in necessary delays for our game. Critical questions needed to be addressed over the past several months such as: how do we modernize the classic pirate fantasy? How do we ensure a more immersive and visceral experience? How do we create cool and memorable moments in-game? For most of these questions to be answered, it was clear that we needed more development time."

It seems as though tackling the game's issues is taking much longer than the developers initially believed. The game was first announced at E3 2017 to widespread acclaim. Notable about the title was that it was being developed by Ubisoft Singapore, which was responsible for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's ship combat sequences.

With how critically and commercially acclaimed these sequences were, hopes were already set high when the game was announced. Whether Ubisoft's Skull & Bones manages to hit this new release window remains to be seen.
