Skull and Bones: 8 years of highly complex development for the theft game, now in alpha

WhenUbisoftin Has presented its financial results for the first quarter of the financial year 2021-2022, கோட்டாக்கு He decided to throw in an article that apparently overcame complex development Skull & Bones, A theft game that has been off the radar for a very long time. Its last official appearance is before September 10, 2020. I have to say we will see him again from 2021 Ubisoft Singapore More time is needed. We are still waiting and giving what is reported, no surprise …

Initially, obviously take all of this with a grain of salt, because the sources (the publisher’s former developers) prefer to be anonymous, and that is not enough for us to verify these reports. So, Assassin’s Creed IV: This project was launched 8 years ago in 2013 as a multiplayer extension of the Black Flag, Before a kind of evolution MMO It would have been a code name The black flag is infinite Then it evolved Project freedom, To know Skull & Bones. We have it Discovered inE3 2017 When Vivendi Just like trying to catch the publisher Beyond good and evil2 He hasn’t gone out yet Come back next year. We were done Try this case. Still, with the exception of the demo shown by one part of the sources, the other part claims that the game was not really there at the time, while there is plenty to publish about it. Initial access It should develop in months according to a service game model. In all cases, He is a Currently scheduled for release before March 31, 2023 Currently in alpha.

The Skull & Bones team is proud of the work they have done on this project since the last update with over-production on Alpha, and is delighted to share more details when the time is right. That being said, any unsubstantiated speculation about the game or the decisions made will depress the team working very hard to create an ambitious new right to live up to the expectations of our players.

Over the past year, we have made significant changes to create a safer and more inclusive workplace in our policies and processes, and help our teams develop games that reflect the diversity of the world in which we live.

However, There will be no precise vision for this project and many elements will make no sense. Obviously, this is not talk CFO Frederick Dukett said growth has progressed well over the past 12 months and the team is using this extra time to provide their full view. Between Restart And changes over the years, Even the basics of Skull & Bones still raise questions… Management will be part of the concerns, Paris headquarters did not hesitate to change everyone responsible when things went wrong, as well Toxic corporate culture, And many employees would have left the ship for other companies like this, even if they had worked for many years Tencent Or Riot. Yielding Increasingly young and inexperienced team, Did not help to complete the project. At that time, technology was developed at that time Black flag May have been used with Assets At that time, there is now a whole generation.

What is almost certain is that everything we saw in 2018 is no longer on the agenda. Thus, in 2019, Skull & Bones Inspired by such games Rust And Arc: Survival evolved Before abandoning it in 2020 for the current, unspecified game format, land surveys looking for them in addition to naval warfare, as well as a rugged side.

So why continue when there is a risk of ending like this Anthem ? Well, already The development cost is 120 million million, Then it is very difficult to admit such failure and such financial loss. Further, It looks likeUbisoftin The Singapore government has obligations, Which is said to have provided subsidies in exchange for hiring more employees and launching new licenses in subsequent years.

In short, we are not going to get our hands dirty Skull & Bones If it finally comes out, the developers hope to finally find the right recipe to attract players. Meanwhile, The Gold Edition d ‘Killer Crete IV: Black Flag Being sold Per. 35.99 Games Planet, So on the computer.
