Key Takeaways

Skull & Bones Delayed

Skull & Bones, the highly anticipated pirate-themed action game developed by Ubisoft, has been hit with another delay. Originally slated for release in 2018, the game has faced multiple setbacks over the years. The latest delay pushes the release date to March 9, 2023.


According to the developers, the reason behind the delay is to allow more time for balancing and improving the overall gameplay experience. While the game itself has already finished development, the internal testers provided valuable feedback that the team wants to address before the game's official launch.


Ubisoft acknowledges the patience of the fans who have been eagerly waiting for Skull & Bones and assures them that this delay will result in a better and more polished game. By taking the time to make necessary adjustments, they hope to create an immersive pirate adventure that exceeds expectations.


Despite the delay, there is some good news for fans who can't wait to get their hands on the game. Ubisoft has promised that, once the final tweaks are completed, players will be able to enjoy Skull & Bones sooner than later. This assurance should offer some comfort to those who have been eagerly anticipating this unique pirate experience.

Overwatch 2 Release Date

For fans of the popular team-based shooter, Overwatch, the wait for its highly anticipated sequel, Overwatch 2, is finally coming to an end. Blizzard Entertainment has announced that Overwatch 2 will be released on October 4, 2022.


One of the most exciting aspects of this release is that Overwatch 2 will be a free upgrade for all players who own the original game. This means that players can seamlessly transition to the new and improved version without any additional cost. Furthermore, all progress made in Overwatch will carry over to Overwatch 2, ensuring that players can continue where they left off.


With the launch of Overwatch 2, Blizzard plans to phase out the original game. This means that Overwatch 1 will no longer be available for purchase or play. Players will need to make the transition to Overwatch 2 in order to continue playing and enjoying the ongoing updates and new content.


Although Overwatch 2 will be a free upgrade, there will be optional extras available for purchase. These extras may include cosmetics, additional characters, and other in-game items. However, Blizzard has confirmed that players will still be able to enjoy the full experience without spending any extra money.


In conclusion, the gaming industry has seen a mix of delays and exciting announcements recently. Skull & Bones, a highly anticipated pirate game, has been delayed until March 9, 2023, to ensure a more balanced and improved gameplay experience. The Dark Pictures Anthology games, Man of Medan and Little Hope, have received a free update that brings various enhancements, including accessibility options and gameplay improvements.
