The company is also developing "Assassin's Creed Codename Jade," "Assassin's Creed Codename Red," "Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe," and "Assassin's Creed Infinity" alongside "Mirage." Sure, Ubisoft Bordeaux is in charge of "Mirage," but who is developing the other ones? Ubisoft has multiple core teams (via GDC 2018), but they usually don't collaborate or work on more than three or four games at a time. Unlike recent years, Ubisoft is oversaturating the market with "Assassin's Creed" games. "Assassin's Creed Mirage" is also supposed to release in 2023, which sounds implausibly optimistic. "Skull and Bones" is a $120+ million abyss, and since many 2022 Ubisoft games reportedly underperformed, resulting in falling market shares, don't be surprised if the company finally axes this pirate-themed sunk cost fallacy.ĭuring the September 2022 Ubisoft Forward stream, Ubisoft announced numerous "Assassin's Creed" games, including "Assassin's Creed Mirage." This game is supposed to tell the origins of Basim from "Assassin's Creed: Valhalla," as well as return the series to its non-RPG roots. Heck, Ubisoft might push the game back until 2025 or even cancel it outright. Given past trends, "Skull and Bones" probably won't ship until 2024 at the earliest. According to an internal report, the company had canceled many games, some of which had yet to be announced, and also had delayed "Skull and Bones" until "early 2023-24." While the game could launch late this year, that seems unlikely. Ubisoft rang in the new year with some bad news. Ubisoft finally delivered a Novemrelease date, per IGN, but history repeated itself when the company moved the release back to March 9, 2023. And then again into the 2022-23 fiscal year. The studio skipped E3 2019 to focus on development, but that didn't prevent another delay, this time into the 2020-21 fiscal year (via Engadget). Initially, Ubisoft wanted to release the game in 2018, but then it pushed the release window back to 2019-2020, according to Polygon. So far, "Skull and Bones" has suffered numerous delays.
