Thanks to a few leaks beforehand, it wasn’t exactly surprising when Ubisoft revealed Far Cry 6<\/strong> <\/em>back in October 2020. Ubisoft then delayed the game further into 2021, which given the current state of the world wasn’t a shock either. Now, it seems Ubisoft intends on releasing\u00a0Far Cry 6<\/em><\/a> before September 30, 2021, but that itself seems questionable for a few reasons.<\/p>\n

Few development patterns are as complex as Ubisoft; leveraging its various studios, multiple games are constantly in the works. Assassin’s Creed\u00a0Odyssey<\/em> was in development for years<\/a> for example, yet still followed the massive Assassin’s Creed Origins<\/em> in about a year. The Far Cry<\/em> franchise has never been as stringent, but where Assassin’s Creed<\/em> seemingly takes “skip years,” Far Cry<\/em> has been there to deliver at a particular time of year.<\/p>\n

Almost neatly divided down the middle, there are 5 Far Cry<\/em> games<\/a> that released in the early parts of the year, while 3 were fall games. Many big AAA games aim for a Fall\/Holiday release as that’s usually bolstered by holiday shopping, yet the early part of every year typically contains a big game to capitalize on the smaller level of competition. However, the summer months and early fall (August\/September) aren’t typically as big as the fall, and while there’s not really a clear reason, there are a few possible deductions. Releasing that close to fall games coming in October or November means the game isn’t going to benefit from the holiday rush, yet people will be returning to school, college, and the like, making it less likely that a ton of people have extra time.<\/p>\n
