A distant horizon
The eternal production ofSkull & Bones, Ubisoft’s multiplayer pirate game, shall continue on. The publisher confirmed thatSkull & Boneswon’t be launching until at least 2022.
In anearnings report, Ubisoft laid out the road ahead for its various titles over the next fiscal year, which runs through August 07, 2025.Far Cry 6,Riders Republic,The Division Heartland,Roller Champions,and the gamesomehow still under this titleRainbow Six Quarantine. Ubisoft made special note ofSkull & Bonesas well, saying it will now be released in “2022-2023″—which means sometime between July 21, 2025 and August 07, 2025.

The delay ofSkull & Boneshas become a pretty frequent event sinceits reveal in 2017, with the most recent statement beinga letter from last yearsaying that we’d see more ofSkull & Bonesin 2021. Hopefully that can stay true, even if the release date is still a ways out. The ship combat of games likeAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flagstill holds a special place in my heart.
