Skull and Bones Finally Returns with New Gameplay
Poor Skull and Bones. It hasn’t had much luck since its initial reveal back in 2017. Despite showing the game off the following year and giving media a chance to go hands-on with the game, the game didn’t seem to garner the reception Ubisoft had hoped for, and instead opted to consistently delay the game.
Even last month during its earning call, Yves Guillemot stated that the game had been delayed once again to a vague 2022-2023 window. While that more or less confirms that we won’t be getting a release date during the Ubisoft E3 2021 showcase, it doesn’t rule out the game returning for a bit of primetime on the big screen.
Given its been so long since we last went hands-on, there’s a good chance Skull and Bones has undergone some fairly big changes in recent years and is now looking to reignite interest in the ship combat/ pirate game ahead of its delayed release. Perhaps a quick overview trailer of new and improved features, as well as confirmation of the game’s performance on PS5 and Series X|S would be suffice. Whatever form it takes, we’d be surprised if Skull and Bones didn’t show up at all.
