It’s no secret that Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones has been in development hell. Announced way back in 2017, it’s suffered multiple delays, reboots and even the removal of Ubisoft Singapore managing director Hugues Ricour due to sexual harassment and bullying accusations. Though Ubisoft proclaimed in May that the team “has been advancing well over the past 12 months,” a new report by Kotaku paints a much more dire picture. In development for almost eight years and already costing the publisher over $120 million (and counting), Skull and Bones first started

Well, it’s not exactly happy news: It’s looking more and more likely that Grand Theft Auto 6, the next Rockstar project, won’t be released until 2025. With this release window designed to cut down on crunch, it appears that Rockstar is taking its time with this game. More reports are coming out corroborating these rumors, and others that suggest the maps we’re going to play on will start small, then be expanded over time. We’d previously heard rumors that GTA V would not be out until 2025 — these came
