Ubisoft delays Skull and Bones, slashes sales targets

Ubisoft announced today it’s delaying at least one of its games, canceling three others and redoing its financial targets for 2023. This is all part of its new “strategic focus” focusing on its primary brands in response to “worsening macroeconomic conditions” and how the publisher’s games underperformed in late 2022.

Skull and Bones, already one of the most chronically delayed games in history, has pushed back yet again. Previously, it was set to release this coming March. Now it’s due to launch sometime in early in the next fiscal year, which runs from April 2023 to March 2024. Ubisoft is also canceling three unannounced projects in order to put all of its money and energy into its major brands.
