We need to move on
First, let's make a major correction.
The Kraken was supposed to be out - OVER THREE YEARS AGO, not two. It will FOUR years this winter. If you are pining for the beastie, and have spent four years of subscription money hoping ONLY for that - I'm sorry.
The Kraken was supposed to be the end boss of either Chapter 2 or 3 - and there is enough video and screenshot evidence out there to show hints about the follow chapters in our fight against Jolly Roger - including meeting Davy Jones. Those developer interviews were done like 4 years ago.
However in the 42 months that have passed, the game's timeline is permanently stuck. It was set between movies 1 and 2. Well, since then - Will is now the captain of the Dutchman and Elizabeth goes off to have his child somewhere. Beckett is dead. Mercer is dead. Davy is dead. Calypso aka Tia has been freed and Barbossa is not only back, but legless and commanding the Queen Anne's Revenge.
So, where does the Kraken fit now? Oh, yes - IT'S DEAD! Left in pieces on the shore of some island.
We need to move on and so does the game. The only good out is for each chapter to be on a different part of the timeline so at some point - we get beyond the movie plot without undoing the logic. Or lets get away from the movies entirely. But, we need to move forward.
Please don't ignore all of the innovations and improvements to this game. And there have been many milestones. Why drag us backwards?
