Skull and Bones continues to sit in development hell as new delay announced

There was a time when people were generally looking forward to Skull and Bones but years of delays and reboots to the project have dampened that considerably. Still, Ubisoft is forging ahead with it, but it won't be releasing this year. 

After being swiftly delayed out of 2022 last year, Ubisoft has now delayed Skull and Bones again, right as the release window was approaching. In Ubisoft's financial earnings report this week, the publisher confirmed that Skull and Bones is no longer coming out in 2023.

Now, Ubisoft expects to release Skull and Bones in early 2024 but at this point, I'm not sure why any gamer or investor would take a release date for this game seriously.

If the game does actually see the light of day, it should now land somewhere between January and the end of March next year.

KitGuru Says: I never want to write off a developer's work, especially when a game hasn't released yet. However, in the case of Skull and Bones, it really does feel like the time for this game to shine has long passed. Maybe we'll be surprised with a quality multiplayer pirate adventure in 2024 but I'm not counting on it.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
