Ubisoft delays Skull & Bones for the 6th time

Skull & Bones has been in development for almost a decade and yet Ubisoft still seems unable to decide what to do with the open-world tactical action game. In a surprising move (though we should have seen it coming) Ubisoft has now delayed Skull & Bones for the 6th time, pushing it back to a vague 2023-2024 window.

As reported by Stephen Totilo (via Axios), following the announcement last July that Ubisoft was cancelling four of its in-development titles, the publisher has now added a further three unannounced games to this list.

Perhaps even more surprising however is the fact that the open-world ship-combat-focused game Skull & Bones has been delayed once again, marking the 6th time since its announcement in 2017 that the game has been pushed back.

Previously planned for release on the 9th of March 2023, the game is now set to arrive sometime in the next Fiscal year, meaning between April 2023 and March 2024. It is interesting to see Skull & Bones delayed once more, as due to government subsidies, it was previously believed that the game had to come out before April 2023.

Evidently this is not the case, but regardless, it is safe to say that Skull & Bones has now reached comical levels of development issues. It will be incredibly interesting to see what the state of Skull & Bones is when/if it eventually comes out.
