'We believe players will be positively surprised by its evolution. The additional time has already paid off and brought impressive improvements to its quality, which has been confirmed by recent playtests,' Ubisoft said in its financial statement. 'Players will be able to discover the beauty of Skull and Bones in the upcoming beta phase. The pirate sim is being delayed for an incredible sixth time to the early part of Ubisoft's 2023-24 fiscal year, which starts in April. There's some bad news for those hoping to play the finished version of Skull and Bones on March 9. The company also said it is 'facing major challenges as the industry continues to shift towards mega-brands and long-lasting titles than can reach players across the globe, across platforms and business models.' Three more unannounced titles are joining the discarded pile, bringing the total to an expensive seven cancelations in one financial year.Įxplaining its reasons for the move, Ubisoft pointed to Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and Just Dance 2023 not performing as well as expected. It was back in July when Ubisoft announced the cancelation of four in-development games, including Splinter Cell VR and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Frontline. It has also delayed Skull and Bones for a sixth time. In addition to lowering its financial projections target for the last quarter and admitting its recent releases didn't perform as well as expected, the company has canceled three more games, adding to the four it canceled in the summer.

In a nutshell: Ubisoft, once voted the most hated gaming brand in the world, isn't having a good time right now.
