But then in late October, on the day of Watch Dogs: Legion's launch, Ubisoft said that it was delaying Far Cry 6 owing to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that had impacted the game's production.

Ubisoft Toronto has been working for four years on Far Cry 6, and the game was officially announced back in July at a Ubisoft Forward event with a February 2021 release date. Ubisoft told Gadgets 360 that “dates posted to retail sites should be considered placeholder, as we have nothing to confirm at this time.” It's possible that this is accidental or a placeholder, but this wouldn't be the first time that Microsoft Store has given away the release date for an upcoming game.

Microsoft Store is displaying May 26, 2021, as the new launch date for the next Far Cry game, developed by Ubisoft Toronto who's also behind 2018's Far Cry 5 and the recent Watch Dogs: Legion. Far Cry 6 release date might have been leaked.
