During CD Projekt Red's fiscal year 2023 end-of-year press conference, CEO and Vice President Karolina Gnaś said if: “a certain game” (a reference to Ubisoft's Skull and Bones game) rated according to “AAAA” standards, our products like The Witcher or Cyberpunk 2077 would be “AAAAA”.
Karolina Gnaś's answer was like rubbing salt into Ubisoft's pain. Previously at the beginning of the year, Ubisoft proudly introduced their game – Skull & Bones worthy of the new standard “AAAA”. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said Skull & Bones will open up new standards for blockbuster games including: high investment costs, top quality, cutting-edge technology and “perfect online support”. “.
Yves Guillemot calls these 4 standards “AAAA” instead of “AAA” as before. And as if to confirm the quality and class of Skull & Bones, the head of Ubisoft affirmed that the price of $70 for the game is completely reasonable and investors do not need to worry about the game's revenue.
Despite the hype, however, what Ubisoft received from Skull & Bones was not as expected. The game is being criticized a lot in major magazines, the game even receives many below average scores from critics.
“Skull and Bones is not the successor to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag that many people are waiting for. The game has too many shortcomings in production with weak gameplay,” IGN's writer evaluated.
Even more harshly, PC Invasion's critic also gave the game a score of 4: “Instead of being an attractive open world game as many people think, Skull and Bones feels like a worse version of World of Warships”.
