DespiteFar Cry 6’sdelaydue to complications involving COVID-19, fans of the series haven’t been deterred from looking forward to the release of the game.

TheFar Cry 6listing onMicrosoft’s online Xbox Live storesays thatFar Cry 6will release on July 25, 2025. If this listing is to be believed, then there’s is still a decently long wait until the game’s official release, though it isn’t too far off of the February release window that the game originally had, pushing it roughly two months back.
It’s important to note that, asUbisofthas not commented on the new release date ofFar Cry 6,fans should take this information with a grain of salt, as it’s possible that the listing is erroneous. Not to mention that this new release date could potentially change, considering that the date shown on the Xbox Live website puts the release date ofFar Cry 6over six months away. Needless to say, a lot can happen in six months.
In any case, it will be interesting to see if there is any truth to the release date shown on the listing. No one knows what 2021 has in store, especially given all of the setbacks thatCOVID-19has caused the gaming industry. The pandemic has directly led to the delay of multiple upcoming titles, and it’s entirely possible thatFar Cry 6could get delayed again in the six months leading up to the game’s presumed release date.
Having said all this, there is still a lot to look forward to in terms ofFar Cry 6. The performance on the next-gen consoles should offer an experience that is unlike anything shown inFar Cry’shistory. Not to mention that, withGiancarlo Espositoplaying the antagonist, it should make for a memorable performance and story. Only time will tell if this listing bears any actual truth.
Far Cry 6is currently in development.
