Recently, Ubisoft announced that Far Cry 6 would no longer be coming out in February 2021 and would instead release later in the year. A specific new release date has not been announced, but Microsoft may have accidentally confirmed the new date already. 

On the Microsoft Store, the listing for Far Cry 6 has been updated with a new release date – May 25th 2021.

This lines up with Ubisoft's recent earnings call, during which the publisher told investors that Far Cry 6 would no longer be releasing in the current fiscal year, but that it would arrive within the April 2021-March 2022 period.

This new release date would mean that Far Cry 6 was only delayed by three months. Of course, we do need to await confirmation from Ubisoft before getting our hopes up.

KitGuru Says: It looks like Far Cry 6 will still be coming in the first half of 2021 for PC, current-gen and next-gen consoles. Are many of you looking forward to the next Far Cry game?
