At this point, we refuse to believe that the leaks on the internet aren't intentional. Case in point, the release date for the long-gestating pirate game by Ubisoft, Skull and Bones, has "popped up" online.

Mind you, this isn't some leak from a random individual - it comes straight from the Xbox store.

A dataminer had a look into the Xbox digital store listing for Skull & Bones and found that it had been updated to list a release date for November 8 alongside a list of in-game DLC and bonus content.

Ubisoft has never confirmed when the upcoming pirate sim will come out. However, the presumed placeholder date does hold up with what Ubisoft said in an earlier earnings call that the game is still scheduled to set sail on or before March 2023. Not to mention, if the company was confident enough to start playtesting Skull and Bones back in March, we'd like to think that the development is going smoothly, all things considered.
