Fallout London, the 'DLC-sized mod' for Fallout 4 from Team FOLON, has received a new deep-dive trailer and release date of April 23, 2024 - a bit less than two weeks after the premiere of Prime Video's Fallout show.
I can't believe I'm saying this but Skull and Bones hasn't been delayed again: A new release date was announced at The Game Awards
08.12.2023 - 04:45 / pcgamer.com
Well, it's finally happened: Skull and Bones has a release date. Yes, another one. Revealed tonight at The Game Awards, Ubisoft's repeatedly-delayed game of piracy on the high seas is now set to launch on February 16, 2024, following a closed beta test set to run December 15-18.
Skull and Bones has been delayed so many times previously it's become something of a running gag, as you may have noticed. The most recent delay landed in October, when it was moved to late in Ubisoft's 2023-24 fiscal year. On a calendar, that put it between January 1 and March 31, 2024, which this new date fits into nicely.
The new trailer takes a bit more of a supernatural tack than we've seen in the past, giving Skull and Bones a bit more of a Sea of Thieves vibe, superficially at least. But it's the gameplay that's always been the core issue for me: Our first look at it, back in July 2022, mainly left me wanting to get back into Sea of Thieves, and a more recent showcase in January of this year didn't knock my socks off either. It just doesn't look very interactive or exciting: As we noted in that January presentation, plundering ports is simply a matter of pulling up close enough, pressing the «plunder» button, and waiting for a timer to tick down.
Ubisoft has no doubt been working furiously to improve that gameplay loop, and I really hope it's been successful. But I also have to assume that even a year-long delay isn't enough time to dramatically overhaul such fundamental aspects of the game. Ubisoft also dropped a new gameplay deep dive trailer tonight that, and frankly it doesn't look meaningfully different than what we've seen previously.
So, will Skull and Bones be better than what we were shown in January? We shall see! Will it actually come out in February 2024? To that too, I say, we shall see.

Plain sailing through the Skull and Bones final closed beta
Skull and Bones has been through a lot. Born from the success of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, there was demand for a fully-fledged pirate game using the same style of high seas adventuring, but as it beset by delays and production issues, the game seemed permanently stuck in development hell. Now, some ten years on from Edward Kenway’s adventure, Skull and Bones is finally less than two months from release, and we’ve finally gone hands on with the game during its final closed beta.
