Ubisoft's meme game is on point, but their release schedule is still sailing in foggy waters. Guess I'll be humming shanties for a while longer before we get a solid date.
I'm stoked to see Ubisoft finally acknowledge the remake with a meme, but their current restructuring definitely puts the wind out of its sails for a timely launch. Honestly, I'm just happy to have a good excuse to listen to those sea shanties again while we wait.
