Ubisoft's Skull and Bones has been delayed for the fifth time, game will probably release one day

kdasokdasdas.png

There are only a few constants in this world: death, taxes, and Ubisoft delaying Skull and Bones, its long, long-awaited pirate sim game. Announced at E3 2017, Skull and Bones was originally promised for a 2018 release date, only to be delayed to 2019. And delayed. And delayed. In fact, the game has now been delayed a total of five times, with each delay pushing it back another year. Only a few months ago did Ubisoft declare that Skull and Bones would be actually releasing this year, finally, in November, but unsurprisingly, that turned into yet another delay.

A release date update was published today by Ubisoft, claiming that the team is working hard on polishing the game up for its eventual release, but the developers wanted to take some extra time to make sure it's ready for launch. What's a little more time when it's been in development for so long, after all? For now, Skull and Bones has been delayed to March 9, 2023, but given the game's history, it wouldn't be crazy to bet on yet another delay. Despite the fact that we've seen this game delayed five times over the last five years, that's only a third of how many times Duke Nukem Forever was delayed.

I know pirates all over the world that can't wait for this 'pirate simulator' to be released. I wonder if it will be like a cross between 'Black Sails' and 'Grand Theft Auto'...?

At this rate, Ubi might as well just keep that pet project of theirs and let the thing rot and collect dust. Not like any gamer w/ any wits a/b themselves would ever give it a time of day.

This is basically an admission they can't make it good enough to compete with Sea of Thieves, so might as well just cancel it.
Well, maybe they want to make it not similar, but better instead... and with something with a direly limited scope like these games, I see how it can be hard to be revolutionary.

But oh well, I don't like pirates or naval combat in AC, so I'm the least qualified to say.

    Thanks mate.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.
