Far Cry 6 and Rainbow Six Quarantine must be released by September 30th

During the presentation of its quarterly results, Ubisoft says that the games Far Cry 6 and Rainbow Six Quarantine will be released before September 30 this year. The release of both games has already been postponed.

During an oral presentation of the quarterly results, Ubisoft’s chief financial officer, Frédérick Duguet, said the plan is still to release Far Cry 6 and Rainbow Six Quarantine by or before September 30. This is what VGC writes, among other things. That means the release will take place this year. The latter was previously not a certainty, because an earlier adjustment in the schedule talked about a release sometime in the fiscal year, which runs from April this year to March next year. Far Cry 6 should have been released soon, on February 18th. Ubisoft did not provide further details about the new Rainbow Six game.

It is clear that the existing Rainbow Six Siege game is doing well. Ubisoft reports in a statement on its quarterly earnings that the game has “approximately 70 million registered players since its release.” The tactical co-op shooter came out at the end of 2015, so it has been around for more than five years. The title had 30 million players in March 2018 and 45 million in March 2019, meaning around 25 million players have been added in the past two years. By March 2019, $1.1 billion in revenue had already been generated.

Ubisoft says it has had the strongest quarter in its history. In the past quarter a turnover of 965.1 million euros was recorded, an increase of almost 132 percent compared to the turnover achieved in the same quarter a year earlier. Net bookings, the net number of products and services sold digitally or physically during a period, also increased significantly; that went from 455.5 million euros to one billion euros.
