Skull and Bones is reportedly in rough shape. Skull and Bones is one of the weirder games that is on the horizon. On the surface, it seems like a pretty interesting AAA game from Ubisoft. It takes the pirate stuff from Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag and expands upon it in its own standalone game, allowing players the chance to really embrace the pirate life. However, it was announced in 2017 and been delayed numerous times. It looked like it was finally going to release in November 2022, but it got pushed back to March 2023. It was a reasonably short delay, but then… it was delayed again and no release date was given. This has had many people concerned about the state of the game.
From speaking with playtesters, the latest Skull and Bones playtest isn’t exactly installing confidence in me that they’ve made the necessary changes needed for it to be successful. I find it hard to believe that people are going to pay $70 for this one tbh.
