Skull And Bones Creative Director Has Reportedly Left
A report shares news that the creative director behind Skull And Bones has now left the project and taken a new role.
As if the game's development process hadn't been any more of a farce.

SkillUp said that he saw/played it both recently and a number of years ago (before the pandemic), and the game changed shockingly little between those two points in time. And it's basically still just the ship combat from Assassin's Creed IV.
That's all people ever wanted: "Give us AC4 with just the piratey ship parts!" And that would have been great... back in 2015. Now it's a full decade later, and Ubisoft seems determined to instead develop an over-monetized, forever game. The iron isn't exactly hot anymore, so I really don't see the point.
Feels like a pure sunk-cost fallacy to continue trying to squeeze this one out.
Is this game ever going to come out? If it does, I'm 99% certain it will suck because of development hell.
And this seems to be Ubisoft's second game currently in development hell, alongside Beyond Good and Evil 2.
Can't remember the source (possibly Jeff Gerstman at Giantbomb) but I'm absolutely certain they said this was a tax write-off or something.

Wasn't a tax thing: Looks like the Singaporean government has it's fingers in this pie.
If/when this game releases I'm looking forward to the videos and articles charting the troubled development cycle from start to finish. At this point, there has to be a lot of material there.
