Skull & Bones has mislaid a co-director.
First reported by Video Games Chronicle, Antoine Henry precocious revealed connected LinkedIn that he's departing from Ubisoft aft moving for astir 15 years astatine the company. Henry says he's onto "new breathtaking adventures" precise soon, which is great. Still, his departure from the company's Singapore workplace serves arsenic yet different nonaccomplishment for the Skull & Bones team, which has seemingly struggled to marque immoderate headway since its 2017 reveal.
Game Informer chronicled Skull & Bones' travel done improvement hellhole precocious successful Part 1 of our Video Games Stuck In Development Hell series (here's Part 2 and Part 3 if you're funny for more). In short, this nautical crippled was past seen by the nationalist successful 2018 – we went hands-on with it that year. There was adjacent a beta players were capable to motion up for that year. Of course, cipher got to play said beta, but the information that specified a happening existed proves Ubisoft was feeling quite confident successful the rubric astatine immoderate constituent successful its history.
In May of 2019, it was delayed to 2020, and erstwhile it slipped past that year, Ubisoft announced successful 2021 that Skull & Bones was scheduled for merchandise sometime betwixt April 2022 and March 2023. We learned past twelvemonth that it was finally successful Alpha, but that getting to that constituent was rather difficult, and now, the satellite (okay, possibly not the world, but I'm precise excited to spot what this crippled is, astatine least) awaits its adjacent reveal.
It's important to enactment that Henry's departure from Ubisoft doesn't needfully overgarment a bleak representation of Skull & Bones' improvement hellhole gallery. Sometimes, developers permission titles aft their enactment connected it is implicit – possibly Henry's enactment connected Skull & Bones is done, and, feeling assured capable that the squad tin get it finished for release, helium decided to leave. However, with specified a troubled improvement history, it's hard not to look astatine this quality cynically arsenic impervious that Skull & Bones is inactive successful the throes of trouble.
While waiting to larn more, cheque retired this New Gameplay Today conception from 2018. If you're looking for a antithetic pirate adventure, cheque retired Rare's Sea of Thieves, which received a monolithic Pirates of the Caribbean-themed expansion past year.
