The footage leaked, and then was sunk

Pirate ‘em up Skull & Bones has been delayed and delayed, and is currently expected to reach port sometime this year or next. It’s been a while since we last saw it in action, but four minutes of footage leaked earlier today, showing a walkthrough of the game designed to prime journalists or testers before they play the game.

The seemingly old footage has already been taken down, but the official Skull & Bones Twitter account has tweeted a hint that it won’t be long before we see something more official.

You can’t watch the footage anymore (unless you Google and find a mirror of the video, you rascal), but it explained how some of Skull & Bones’ unique features worked, including the NPC crews who help run your pirate ship. If you didn’t keep them happy, those scurvy lads would mutiny against you.

Skull & Bones' development has been severely troubled, with a Kotaku report alleging thatan unclear vision of the game and management issueswere responsible forall the delays.

Perhaps it’s shipshape now, however. As noted, the Skull & Bones Twitter accounttweeted a short messagetoday saying to “Keep your eyes on the horizon,” with a short video ending in a message to “stay tuned.” A re-reveal of Skull & Bones during not-E3 this June, then? That would be an easy guess to make.
