Skull & Bones is being produced by Ubisoft’s Singapore studio, which has been the target of workplace harassment, discriminatory pay, and inefficient HR department investigations. Singaporean authorities completed the probe earlier this year without taking any action, noting that the studio compensates its employees properly and handles harassment allegations appropriately. Other stated troubles at the studio have been cited as probable reasons why Skull & Bones has taken so long to ship, but the game could finally set sail by the end of this year, according to sources who talked to Kotaku.
