FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Skull and Bones - Ubisofts upcoming pirate action-adventure - is now facing 
another delay, according to the companys latest earnings report. Whats more, 
another large Ubisoft game is being pushed back, too, but its not currently 
clear which one it is. 

As Eurogamer reports , Skull and Bones has faced multiple delays since its 
announcement in 2017. In the last year, it's missed three separate release 
windows - first, November 8, 2022, then March 9, 2023, and now, the more 
vague early" point in fiscal year 2023-24 (which began in April 2023). 

In Ubisofts new earnings report , which was released yesterday (October 26), 
it was stated that Skull and Bones is now due to launch Q4 2023-24, which 
amounts to a window of January to March 2024 - potentially almost a year on 
from when it was last expected to release. 

The report also makes reference to a large game it had initially planned to 
launch during the last quarter of the current fiscal year (by March 31, 
2024). It stated: The company has decided to launch this other large game in 
FY 2024-25, so as to maximize its value creation. 

This means that whatever the game is, its now facing a new release window 
somewhere between April 2024 and the end of March 2025. However, it didnt 
clarify when in the financial year its been pushed to, so its not currently 
known how large the delay will be. 

While the report didnt reveal what the game is, it did specify that Avatar: 
Frontiers of Pandora , Assassins Creed Nexus VR , Prince of Persia: The Lost 
Crown , Just Dance 2024 , XDefiant and The Division Resurgence are still 
scheduled to be released within the remainder of the current financial year.
