"While this additional development time is a reflection of the current ongoing constraints on productions across the industry, we are hard at work to design the most efficient working conditions to ensure both flexibility for our teams as well as strong productivity while delivering the best experiences to players."

I actually have relatively high expectations for this game, and as the first fully next gen open world title I'm not surprised that's getting delayed.
Hopefully it arrives in the Spring
It would've gone nicely alongside the release of Avatar: The Way of Water though. But, if it turns out to be as big as the first movie, we'll all definitely be on an Avatar high and will thoroughly help sales of the game if it releases the following spring!
I am curious though with the game being Massive Entertainment's first modern single player open world game, if they will put their own spin on the genre instead of following Ubisoft's typical open world design.
Ubisoft got to have their open world game meet their standards of mediocrity of open world games and esp with a mediocre movie license.
I had no idea this was meant for 2022. They have been silent for so long. I was super hyped for this game until they said it was gona be first person. Maybe that's why I lost track of it.
