Cranium & Bones has had one extremely troublesome and lengthy improvement interval, one which it appears has no actual finish in sight, as the sport has reportedly misplaced its third artistic director, and continues to be and not using a launch date.
Elisabeth Pellen has left the crew in Ubisoft Singapore and moved to the Ubisoft headquarters in Paris, although in keeping with Ubisoft Pellen wasn’t precisely supposed to supervise the sport all the best way as much as launch.
Ubisoft confirmed Pellen’s departure in a press release despatched to Kotaku, who initially reported the story, however different nameless sources Kotaku spoke to claimed that her time at Ubisoft Singapore was nonetheless lower quick, and was anticipated to final by means of the top of 2023.
Cranium & Bones did lately have a closed-beta for PC gamers, which got here again with combined outcomes from gamers, and wasn’t precisely the glowing validation of the sport’s present state the crew may’ve hoped it could be.
Cranium & Bones was first introduced in 2017, although Ubisoft has been engaged on the title since 2013, because it initially started as an enlargement for Murderer’s Creed IV: Black Flag, earlier than increasing into its personal launch.
Which implies it’s been a decade of improvement for Ubisoft, and we’ve identified in regards to the recreation for six of these years. Granted, improvement durations are getting longer, but when the unique plan had labored out, Cranium & Bones would’ve already launched, maybe even initially on PS4.
After a decade of sources poured right into a launch that also doesn’t appear to have a launch date, or sit properly with gamers in its present state, it’ll be attention-grabbing to see if Ubisoft finally decides to chop its losses, or if its already in to deep.
