Beset by delays so much so that some questioned if it would ever come out, Ubisoft Singapore\u2019s Skull and Bones <\/em>may just have reached clear tides at last. Following its last release update of the fiscal year-end, it appears that \u2018X\u2019 should mark Feb. 16 on your calendars.<\/p>
Thanks to Insider Gaming<\/a>, those waiting desperately to learn of this pirate game\u2019s fate seem to have had their patience rewarded at last. Ubisoft paid mention to Skull and Bones <\/em>in October, suggesting 2023\/24 Q4 as a new launch window. Darryl Long, incoming Toronto Managing Director, further backed this belief by even going as specific as to state between January and March<\/a>.<\/p>
It appears that The Game Awards may well be the place to look for official confirmation next week according to Insider. Pre-orders have been live for years by this stage, but Ubisoft is reportedly adding a \u2018Premium\u2019 edition into the mix which will set buyers back an extra $15-$20. The first game to be led by Singapore following a long history of supporting the Assassin\u2019s Creed <\/em>franchise, Skull and Bones <\/em>was revealed all the way back at Ubisoft\u2019s E3 2017 press conference<\/a>. Drawing inspiration from one of the previous titles it worked on, Black Flag<\/em>, Singapore\u2019s aim was to create a third-person, tactical action game featuring customizable ships.<\/p>
September 2020 was the most significant update before this one, claiming that the game had undergone a complete shift in vision. Other studios, including Berlin, had been drafted onto the game\u2019s production timeline to co-develop<\/a>. So tormented was this title\u2019s development that a new console generation has emerged in the meantime. Originally intended for release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Skull and Bones <\/em>will now hit PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. <\/p>
