In a new blog post, creative director Elisabeth Pellen confirmed that Skull & Bones has basically been given a new direction (not the boy band), with the vision for the game having been expanded and thus leading to multiple delays.

Sunday’s Ubisoft Forward event was built on a few old faithfuls from the French publisher’s brand: Watch Dogs Legion continues to look ripper, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has cat raiders so I’m now totally invested in that and Far Cry 6 was officially revealed.
