A new report claims that development on Ubisoft’s upcoming open-world multiplayer pirate-themed title, Skulls & Bones, has recently been restarted from scratch.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that the naval warfare game was once again delayed with the title not releasing before April 2022 at the earliest.
According to a new report from outlet Gameluster, however, even a 2022 release is very unlikely due to the game still being in its early development stages. We’ve included the relevant part of the outlet’s report down below:
Skulls & Bones was officially announced during Ubisoft’s 2017 E3 media conference. The game was set to release in 2018 but was later delayed into 2019/2020. Back in September of last year, it was revealed that the title would be re-revealed at some point in the future.
“Many of you have been wondering why we’ve had to postpone our launch”, the game’s creative director, Elisabeth Pellen, said last year. “The answer is that we simply needed more time. We dreamt something bigger for Skull and Bones, and these ambitions naturally came with bigger challenges.”
Skulls & Bones appears to be a long way out indeed. Hopefully, we’ll hear more about the title during E3 next month.
