Ubisoft has just announced another delay in the release date of their new upcoming action-adventure game, Skull and Bones. This is not the first delay this game has experienced, even if its reasoning is good. This latest delay has people questioning when they’ll actually be able to get their hands on a copy.
Skull and Bones is moving away from other Ubisoft-style games and provides players with a pirate-filled adventure as they traverse the seven seas. Ubisoft Singapore has been working on this multiplayer game since 2013, although Ubisoft only revealed the game in 2017. Since then, fans of the studio and pirate-lovers alike have been patiently waiting for a release date.
The project’s launch has received quite a few pushbacks since it was first announced, and when we finally received a release date of November 8, 2022, many fans were extremely excited. This excitement was amplified when pre-orders for the game became available. However, this excitement didn’t last.
Yesterday, Ubisoft announced another delay and Skull and Bones will only be released to PC, Playstation 5, Stadia and Xbox X/S on March 9, 2023. The reason for the delay was that the developers had sufficient time to address the bugs and feedback from the recent Technical Tests and Insider Program.
This means that the development stage of the process is complete, and now it is just the polishing and finishing touches to ensure that when the game makes it to the public, it will be a great experience for all players. The developers also announced that an open beta will follow shortly (exact date not yet confirmed) for anyone wishing to give the game a test run before release.
As excited as we are for the release of this interesting game from the popular developers Ubisoft, there have already been so many delays for Skull and Bones up to this point. We hope this is the last one and that we can finally start getting excited for its release in March.
