Correct me if im wrong, but doesn't financial year mean something different to actual year? So there is a chance that one or both games could release at the end of 2021.

A year is still a year, and not releasing in the 2021 financial year means not releasing until the 2022 financial year at a minimum.

The 2021 financial year has only just started, which means that they won't be releasing this year unless Activision Blizzard lied to their investors (which they can't knowingly do legally).

They just released their Q4 2020 results, which outlines the company's performance until December 31st. Activision Blizzard is financial calendar actually lines up with the real world, so 2021 is 2021.

Heh, that makes sense then =] I wasn't aware that financial years vary from company to company. So yeah, shame we gotta wait even longer! but it will still be worth it =]
