We also learned earlier this month that it will be the first of Ubisoft's published games to retail at a $70 price point. Skull & Bones was later delayed into 2022-2023, and then given a November 8 release date, which is what we've expected up to now. In the meantime, further reports alleged a toxic work culture at developer Ubisoft Singapore amidst wider accusations of a hostile work environment company-wide. It was delayed a second time to 2020, and then again to 2021. When it didn't surface for sometime after, reports suggested that it had been quietly rebooted. Its first delay was announced the following year, pushing Skull & Bones back to "2019-20". At the time, it was set to come out in fall of 2018, and focused on prior-gen consoles. It was first revealed back at E3 2017, appearing at the time to be a riff off of the naval combat in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. Ubisoft announced the latest delay for Skull &. Game requires Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Live Gold to play on console (subscription sold separately). Skull & Bones' development has been a tumultuous ride. Skull & Bones will have a beta ahead of launch, but when it will begin has not been announced. The publisher explained in the release that while "game development is finished at this stage," the extra four months will be used to "further polish and balance the experience" following technical tests and Insider Program feedback from prior closed betas. In a press release today, Ubisoft has given a new release date of March 9, 2023, allowing Skull & Bones to sneak in just ahead of the end of its financial year.
