Ubisoft’s upcoming pirate ship gameSkull and Boneshasn’t been seen in some time and today, the companyissued an updateon the game’s development. Elisabeth Pellen, Creative Director on Skull and Bones, joined the team about two years ago. She writes that “We dreamt something bigger for Skull & Bones, and these ambitions naturally came with bigger challenges.”
Pellen further explains that Skull and Bones scope has grown and that the game needed delays as a result. Pellen says that Skull and Bones will be shown off in a “comeback” sometime in 2021. As a result, it won’t be featured in today’sUbisoft Forward showcase.
