    Yeah that sequel is never gonna happen huh. Every day you have headlines of a studio closure or a cancelled project, there’s no way they’re still devoting millions of dollars and man power to a sequel that has shown nothing

      There is a legitimate reason why we may see “something” in the future.

      Ubisoft accepted subsidies from the French government for the production of BGE2, which puts BGE2 in a similar place like “Skull and Bones”: “Skull and Bones” was partially financed by subsidies from the Singaporean government. So BGE2 is trapped in the same weird limbo “Skull and Bones” was trapped in for years. Ubisoft has to figure out whether they actually want to finish the game or write a big, fat check to the French government.

      We all know how that turned out for “Skull and Bones”, so I am not going to get my hopes up.
