During their latest earnings report, Ubisoft have officially confirmed that Far Cry 6 has been delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic. The game will now release sometime after March 2021.
Ubisoft's upcoming shooter Far Cry 6 was scheduled to release in February 2020 but sadly, that will no longer be the case as the game has been pushed back due to COVID-19 pandemic, the publisher officially announced during their latest earnings report.
At the moment, there is no specific release date for Far Cry 6 but Ubisoft said that the game will release before the end of next fiscal year, meaning it's coming sometime between April 2021 and March 2022. We doubt it will be 2022 though but a safe bet would be Summer 2021.

All in all, delays in the gaming industry are becoming pretty standard stuff in 2020, which saw three Cyberpunk 2077 delays, Halo Infinite delay and many more. Hopefully, the trend won't continue in 2021 but of course, the well-being of developers is all that matters in these dark times.
