As revealed in Ubisoft's recent financial report, Skull and Bones has been given yet another release window, and is now expected to launch on Xbox Series X|S between January and March 2024. The company has also delayed an unnamed "large game" — potentially Star Wars Outlaws — out of the last quarter of its current fiscal year and into its next fiscal year, ending March 2025.

Skull and Bones has been in development hell for some time now, racking up a total of six delays so far. Last month, it was reported that Elisabeth Pellen left the project, becoming the third creative director to step away from Skull and Bones since its announcement in 2017.

As for Star Wars Outlaws, the open-world game was announced for Xbox Series X|S during the Xbox Games Showcase in June with a release window of 2024. The game is set between the events of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and sees us playing a "cunning scoundrel" called Kay Vess to pull off a heist in the Outer Rims.

We'll need to wait for Ubisoft to reveal the delayed unnamed game, but you can be sure we'll let you know when it does.
