Pirate 'em up Skull & Bones has been delayed and delayed, and is currently expected to reach port sometime this year or next. It's been a while since we last saw it in action, but four minutes of footage leaked earlier today, showing a walkthrough of the game designed to prime journalists or testers before they play the game.

The four minute video surfaced via Reddit earlier today. While it's not clear exactly when the footage is from, PC Gamer's Chris Livingston says that it looks similar to what he remembers playing in 2018. The game has probably changed a lot since.
