Skull and Bones Was In Development For Many Years

As for Skull and Bones, Ubisoft revealed that season 2 will come with new PvE and solo game modes. The studio hopes to retain existing players and attract newcomers through this content update.

Ubisoft is likely to continue investing in the game as a source of live-service revenue. It has also discounted the title quite aggressively recently, opening it up to even more players.

The recent report is great news for Skull and Bones. While live-service titles can often fail unexpectedly, Ubisoft seems pleased with the results for now.

Moving further into 2024, the studio is looking forward to releases like Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This catalog should allow it to cover all the bases, including single-player and multiplayer titles.
