Despite years of delay, Skull & Bones finally seems to be on the right track. Ubisoft Singapore is also looking for players who want to try the title.
After years of chaotic development, Skull & Bones finally seems to be on the right track. In fact, Ubisoft has just launched a campaign to recruit players to test the game, as we can see on the official sitethe French publisher has set up an insider program that will allow select players to get their hands on a pre-alpha version of the game while providing valuable feedback to the developers.
To your good heart
As the description explains,Ideal candidates are Skull and Bones fans who are passionate about game development and have plenty of time to test and report problems, bugs, or just general feedback. This requires a lot of patience and commitment and most importantly strict adherence to a non-disclosure agreement And you Ubisoft Code of Conduct.”
Keep in mind that Skull & Bones was announced at E3 2017 (simultaneously with Steep, The Crew 2 or even Starlink, for example) and that there is still no release date. It was originally intended to capitalize on the success of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag’s naval battles. The game then promised to explore the Indian Ocean in co-op or solo via a scripted campaign.
Skull & Bones: Finally Afloat?
After years of wandering around and a complete reboot in 2020, the game has been put back on track, with Ubisoft even hinting at a release in the next fiscal year (ending March 31, 2023) at the last financial statements. According to Frédérick Duguet (CFO of Ubisoft), speaking on the occasion, the game would now be a pure multiplayer experience taking place in a huge open world, which is more in line with the publisher’s strategic direction.
We must therefore expect a new game as a service, knowing that according to the information shared by Tom Henderson in September 2021, the title would now be survival-oriented, with the player starting the game with a simple raft.
