Skull & Bones Is Being Developed as a “Multiplayer-First” Game

Skull & Bones has been one of Ubisoft's most delayed projects. First announced back in 2017, it's been through development hell ever since and now, it looks like the game has gone through a major revamp to become a “multiplayer-first”

According to an earnings call covered by VGC, Ubisoft promised that Skull & Bones will now launch in its “next fiscal year.” During this call, CFO Frédérick Duguet claimed the IP is “very promising” but acknowledged the lengthy development. However, he confirmed Ubisoft is currently happy with the artistic direction and progress so far.
