This ship isn't sinking: Ubisoft intends to continue content support for Skull & Bones and is even preparing several large-scale events

The release of the pirate online action game Skull Bones became one of the main failures of Ubisoft publishing house. The development of this "AAAA game" took more than 10 years and almost $100 million received from the authorities of Singapore.

As a result, the project turned out to be absolutely mediocre and in a month it was sold with huge discounts, because nobody was going to spend $70 on Skull Bones.

Many people assumed that Ubisoft, having seen the complete lack of gamers' interest in Skull Bones, would stop supporting the game, but as it became known, the company has other plans.

Here's What We Know

Authoritative insider Tom Henderson talked to his sources in Ubisoft and said that the developer is determined to continue supporting Skull and Bones and will start the first season of the second year of the game's development in early 2025.

Gamers can expect new PvP modes, points of interest, world levels and more. Moreover, Ubisoft plans to hold several major events and collaborations in the action game, and one of them may be a crossover with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - the game with which the idea of Skull and Bones was born. Its launch will likely be timed to coincide with the announcement or release of the remake of the 2013 remake of the iconic pirate action game that Henderson previously reported on.

Ubisoft's determination is respectable, but the expediency of supporting Skull Bones seems questionable, as the game rarely has more than 200 people on Steam, and the peak online was only 2615 people - the situation is hardly better on other platforms. And considering the difficult situation the company is in, Skull Bones is better off drowned.
