Ubisoft is currently valued at 5.7 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. The publisher also confirmed the lineup for its next fiscal year: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, and even Skull & Bones. During the earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Frédérick Duguet expressed satisfaction at the game’s progress, at long last. To say that Skull & Bones had a troubled development would be the understatement of the year. Ubisoft Singapore started working on the game all the way back in 2013, inspired by Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag’s naval battles. Skull & Bones was announced at E3 2017 with a proposed launch window set for Fall 2018, but repeated delays have led fans to believe the game might never launch. With this new statement from the Ubisoft CFO, though, there seems to be hope yet for a 2023 release. That’s of course a longer development time that we’ve had on that game, but we’re very happy with the artistic direction and the progress of the game so far.
