News Ubisoft CEO Defends Skull and Bones Premium $70 Pricetag, Insists It's 'AAAA' Quality
Uh-oh
Despite being delayed six times so far, Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot is highly confident in Skull and Bones, so much so that he is tempting fate, invoking the dreaded "AAAA" moniker.

News Delayed for an Impressive Sixth Time, Skull and Bones Now Expected in Early 2024
Allegedly
Surprise! Skull and Bones has been delayed again, for the sixth time by our reckoning, which has to be some kind of record.

Word comes to us through Ubisoft, as today is financial report day, and along with the frankly unsurprising nautical news,...
