Skull And Bones Releases Tie-In Comic, Still No Sign Of The Game

Skull And Bones has been delayed six times and right now, Ubisoft's ambitious pirate Game has no firm release date. There's a silver lining for anyone waiting for something, anything linked to the Game to be made available, though. Skull And Bones has its very own spinoff comic, and it's available right now.

I'm actually not sure if spinoff is the right term to use here since no Game has been launched for the comic to have been spun from. Nevertheless, as reported by IGN, Skull And Bones: Savage Storm is a comic created by Dark Horse Comics set in the same universe as the Game will be when it eventually does arrive.

Co-written by John Jackson Miller and James Mishler, Savage Storm will follow a group of pirates and the crew of a ship they try to make their own as the vessel is hit by a storm. That storm leads to both groups being stranded together on a desert island. Exactly how connected to the Game and its characters the comic will be remains unclear, but its synopsis does confirm the tale takes place in the same world as Skull And Bones.

That might well mean you run into a few of the characters from Savage Storm whenever you get the chance to finally play Skull And Bones. If you are still excited about becoming a Ubisoft pirate and sailing across the Indian Ocean, a digital version of the first edition of the comic is available right now on Amazon. Dark Horse will also be creating an art book for Skull And Bones that will presumably launch when the Game eventually does. Ubisoft certainly won't want anyone seeing it too early and finding itself in a Tears of the Kingdom situation.

Skull And Bones was announced in 2013 and given a 2018 release date. The Game was rebooted in 2020 and following more delays, Ubisoft has now given the Game a vague early FY2023 launch window. That means it won't be here until April 1 at the very earliest, but with a busier April and May than usual for video Games, it seems likely Skull And Bones won't be here until the summer at the very earliest.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.
