\"Skull <\/p>\n

Platform:<\/b> PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC
Publisher:<\/b> Ubisoft
Developer:<\/b> Ubisoft Singapore
Release:<\/b> 2022 <\/p>\n

Skull & Bones was announced in 2017 and other than a few trailers and gameplay showcases, things have remained mostly quiet on it. In fact, much of the news that has since come out about Skull & Bones has been regarding delays, directors leaving, and more. Just last month, it was revealed that one of the game\u2019s co-directors departed from Ubisoft<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It seems that Ubisoft is confident Skull & Bones will finally escape the clutches of development hell soon<\/a>, though, because in\u00a0the company\u2019s most recent quarterly earnings report, Ubisoft CEO Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rick Duguet said it could release next fiscal year. More specifically, if Duguet\u2019s right and Skull & Bones does release next fiscal year, that puts its release date somewhere between April 2022 and March 2023, as reported by PC Gamer<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the biggest surprise, considering Ubisoft said back in 2021 that it sees Skull & Bones releasing sometime in that window<\/a>. However, despite reports that getting Skull & Bones into Alpha has been rough<\/a>, Duguet said he\u2019s \u201cvery happy\u201d with the game\u2019s development.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in this recent quarterly earnings call, Ubisoft revealed that this past holiday quarter was not a great one compared to that of 2020. As reported by GamesIndustry.biz<\/em><\/a>, sales for Ubisoft were down 31% to roughly $757 million, with bookings off 25% to $848 million. While that sounds quite doom and gloom, it\u2019s not surprising when you look at Ubisoft\u2019s massive 2020 holiday quarter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s quarter consisted of blockbuster Far Cry 6<\/a> and new IP like Rider\u2019s Republic<\/a>, whereas this same quarter in 2020 saw the release of Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla<\/a>, Watch Dogs: Legion<\/a>, and Immortals Fenyx Rising<\/a>, not to mention, all three hit new-gen consoles, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re excited about Ubisoft\u2019s first foray into pirates since the release of 2013\u2019s Assassin\u2019s Creed Black Flag, then it sounds like you don\u2019t have too much waiting left to do. In the meantime, read about the troubled development of Skull & Bones<\/a> and then check out this Skull & Bones New Gameplay Today segment<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
