Are we finally, finally about to hear more about Ubisoft's open world pirate game Skull & Bones? This one has largely been in the dark — aside from leaks — since its announcement years ago now. Well, even more leaks are hinting at the game's planned release date, with store databases also showing planned mission packs and pre-order bonuses.
A well-known Microsoft Store leaker has pulled some Skull & Bones info from the store's backend, and it shows a planned release date among other details. That date looks to be set for November 8th 2022, meaning we should start hearing about the game in an officially capacity pretty soon.
The leaker has also spotted a selection of typical-Ubisoft day one DLC packs tied to Skull & Bones' release date. There's not a ton of info we can pull from these, but they do add more credibility to that reported release date.
Ubisoft's upcoming pirate adventure was first revealed in 2017, after being built out from an Assassin's Creed spin-off. It's safe to say development has been tumultuous since, with Ubisoft showing off very little of the game. Well, hopefully that'll change in the immediate future.
Are you still looking forward to Skull & Bones when it eventually releases? Let us know in the comments!

Hopefully after all this time it will be a decent game. The ship sailing in the Assassin Creed games has been a highlight of the series as a whole for me. So I'm cautiously optimistic about this game.
Just found out that this is a pirate game which doesn't have hand to hand combat or any land exploration.
Hard Pass....
If this has a single player campaign then that's awesome. Otherwise I don't care.
@UltimateOtaku91 seriously? That's such a let down
@Chaudy yes unfortunately, I've been watching gameplay and trailers and read information from ubisoft and there's no hand to hand combat or land exploration, unless they are keeping them a secret until closer to release day.
Here's some recently leaked footage as well

@UltimateOtaku91 Hard pass unless it’s on Game Pass, amirite? Lol
If it's on ship to ship combat and sailing, I won't bother
If this was more like Sid Meier's Pirates it would've been fantastic, but just sailing and ship combat, shame
I'll stick to Sea of Thieves for my Pirate adventure fix.
Ubisoft event today maybe we will have confirmation and update for this game.
As someone who fell in love with sea of thieves, I'm rooting for this to be great
@Kaloudz first E3 reveal was just a cinematic, then next E3 they showed gameplay but just sea combat, then nothing for years, then the latest gameplay leak which is again just sea combat.
I hope I'm wrong as the graphics look really good and the ship combat looks good and customization, but without the land exploration and human combat it would get tedious very quickly unless its not a long game which I wouldn't mind then.
You may be right, I just thought that was maybe a hub area that you go to upgrade stuff, I am hoping theres actual towns and ports to go to and land to explore to loot
I had no idea this game existed but if there is land exploration and hand to hand combat then I'm in. I loved the sailing in the AC games and black flag was epic although 3 which started the whole sailing stuff was good also. so my hope is for this to be like black flag minus the whole assassin stuff. I guess they do run the risk of it being compared to AC though but I don't think that is a bad thing tbh.
