Skull and Bones

Ubisoft recently delayed Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag: The Sailing Parts: The Game to 2022 (or later). Development is led by Ubisoft Singapore. In November, following a “leadership audit” spurred by a reckoning regarding misconduct at the publisher, Ubisoft removed the studio’s managing director from his position. It’s safe to say that development on Skull and Bones is in rocky waters, so a surprise appearance at Ubisoft’s E3 2021 press conference probably wasn’t in the cards in the first place.
