Far Cry 6 has been postponed, but when exactly it will come and where the new release date lies was previously unknown. Now a leak in the Microsoft Store has mentioned a specific month for the release of the open-world shooter. But is that true?
What is the situation with the release date of Far Cry 6? It was actually supposed to be Ubisoft’s new Far Cry title releasing in February 2021. However, due to the Corona pandemic, some releases at Ubisoft have been thrown out of order. Therefore, Far Cry 6 will now be released in the fiscal year 2021-2022. This begins in April 2021, but the release of Far Cry 6 is a bit later.
When will Far Cry 6 be released exactly?
This is the alleged release date: While a concrete date is desperately searched for everywhere, there is actually a precise date in the Microsoft Store. It says “Available from May 26, 2021”.
So it seems that the new installment of Far Cry will only be coming in about half a year, a considerable delay.
How likely is it that this is true? Since the Microsoft Store has already announced the upcoming Ubisoft adventure Fenix Rising with such a leak, it initially seemed that the release date for Far Cry 6 would also be correct.
However, according to our partner site GamePro, which inquired directly with Ubisoft, the Microsoft date is probably just a placeholder and not a concrete date. However, that does not mean that Far Cry 6 won’t be released sometime in mid-2021. Officially, the fiscal year runs until September, and hopefully the game will be released by then.
Where can I pre-order Far Cry 6? In addition to pre-ordering at the Microsoft Store, you can also pre-order Far Cry 6 from many other providers.
What is Far Cry 6 actually? Far Cry 6 is an open-world shooter set on a Caribbean island reminiscent of Cuba named Yara. There, the dictator Anton Castillo rules a police state. In addition, he is trying to teach his rather indifferent son Diego the craft of dictatorship.
In the game, you take on the role of the guerrilla recruit Dani Rojas, who you can choose to be either female or male. For the first time in the Far Cry series, your hero is fully voiced and is also shown from the outside in cutscenes. This has never happened before!
Far Cry 6 will be released on PC as well as for the next-gen consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S for the first time.
The PlayStation 5 has recently been officially released in our country, and many PS5 fans are eagerly awaiting the new console. However, some have gotten one early. Here on MeinMMO, you can find out how the lucky owners reacted to the new Sony gaming console PS5. Enjoy reading!
