Skull & Bones

It’s been a bleak year for mega publisher Ubisoft. It’s the first time we’ve gone more than two years without an Assassin’s Creed game since the series began, and several other projects were canceled or delayed. Skull & Bones was one of them. Born from an Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag expansion, the pirate survival game has spent years in development hell. Shortly after the game was shown at Ubisoft’s big summer showcase, the game was delayed yet again to address playtest concerns before it makes it into the wild.
Reason for delay: “polishing and balancing”
New release date: March 9, 2023
