If, like me, you have a morbid curiosity about the widespread and deeply problematic development of Ubisoft’s Skull And Bones pirate game, Friday promises to be a very interesting day.
Skull And Bones has been in development at Ubisoft Singapore for a decade right now. It began as a multiplayer spin-off of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag’s then-popular naval combat.
Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either.
The last time I saw this game was actually at E3 in 2017. We played it with the then co-director, Antoine Henry, who left the company earlier this year. It has since been out of the public eye. Beyond the handful of informants who have been allowed to play a recent version, next week will be the first time the game will see the light of day in five years.
What we know about the game, from the few details that have emerged, is that it has been significantly restructured. While it looks like it’s still a multiplayer game, it looks like Ubisoft is opting for a Fortnite-like live service model with regular updates and changes around the world. After being delayed until the end of 2022 last year, we saw that the Australian rating board gave a rating in April, suggesting that a release date was imminent. Starting with Friday’s Ubisoft Forward, we’ll know exactly what Skull And Bones has become. Can you compete with Sea of Thieves? Time will tell.
