Office 2022: a first confirmation from Microsoft

Although many have already chosen to rely on 365 subscriptions to manage work, documents and collaboration by leveraging mainly on cloud tools, some still prefer the so-called perpetual license of Microsoft Office. These are the distribution methods of the most classic suite, the one that allows you to purchase the package in bulk once and then install the individual software locally, without subsequently having to deal with limits in use, deadlines or renewals. Today's news is that a new release will arrive.

The Office 2022 suite coming next year

This was announced by the team working on Exchange through the pages of the official website. in the days of the Ignite 2020 event on stage at this tour in an exclusively digital form. Below is a translated sentence that anticipates the debut of yet another version for the productivity suite.

Microsoft Office will also have a new perpetual version for Windows and Mac in the second half of 2021.

No other details have been revealed outside of the arrival on computers with Windows and macOS operating systems.

We will later add more details regarding the official name, prices and availability of all these products .

Considering the launch window, the label “2022” is likely. Office 2019 will therefore have a successor, unlike what has been hypothesized by many parties following the release of Microsoft 365 and the group's ever-increasing focus on cloud solutions.
