Ubisoft offers new financial reporting, saying this "strengthens strategic focus on biggest brands." This includes news that the company is canceling three unannounced games, suggesting these were not from its biggest brands. These are in addition to the four games that were cancelled in July, with the move described as part of a "set of measures dedicated to strengthening its long-term growth and value-creation prospects." There is also news of yet another setback for Skull and Bones, which is overdue, since the seafaring adventure hasn't been delayed since September. Word is the game's release date is being pushed back to "2023-24" which presumably refers to the company's fiscal calendar. Here's word on the game's sixth delay in under six years:

Players will be able to discover the beauty of Skull and Bones in the upcoming beta phase. The additional time has already paid off and brought impressive improvements to its quality, which has been confirmed by recent playtests. We believe players will be positively surprised by its evolution. We have decided to postpone its release in order to have more time to showcase a much more polished and balanced experience and to build awareness. Skull and Bones will now be released early 2023-24
