As part of their just-revealed earnings for the past quarter, Ubisoft has announced two of upcoming games have received potentially fairly-significant delays. The delayed titles, Far Cry 6 and Rainbow Six Quarantine, will now be coming out sometime during Ubisoft’s fiscal year 2022, which runs from April 2, 2021 to March 31, 2022.

Benefitting from this strong momentum, and despite having moved Far Cry 6 and Rainbow Six Quarantine to 2021-22 to leverage their full potential in the context of production challenges caused by COVID-19, our new [income targets] for 2020-21 remain within the boundaries set back in May. Being able to maximize the long-term value of our IPs, while at the same time maintaining solid financial targets highlights the increasing recurring nature of our revenues, the strength of our portfolio of franchises, and confidence in our holiday season release slate.
