A year ago, Skull and Bones, Ubisoft Singapore’s pirate-themed action-adventure game, made its rather tumultuous debut on consoles and PCs. It quickly became one of Ubisoft’s most hotly debated releases. Yet, in today’s world, where games are constantly updated and improved post-launch, there’s always a sliver of hope for change.

Could Skull and Bones be on a similar path to redemption, or is it destined to remain another misstep in Ubisoft’s history?
