Microsoft hasn’t fully unveiled what changes and new features Office 2021 will bring but it looks like the software on the whole will be very similar to the 2019 version. There will be two new alternatives to the cloud version of Office/Microsoft 365 for Mac and Windows this year – a consumer/small business Office 2021 and a commercial Office 2021 for larger businesses and other organizations (via The Verge).

Now the company has revealed that the successor, Office 2021 will launch sometime “later this year” along with sharing a few details on what to expect. For individuals or businesses that don’t want to go for Office with the Microsoft 365 subscription, the latest one-time purchase version is still Office 2019 for Mac (originally launched in 2018).
