Office 2021 is a version of Microsoft Office released on 5 October 2021. Unlike Office 2019, this version is supported for only five years instead of seven as the extended support period has been entirely eliminated. It is the first version of Microsoft Office since Office 95 to not have an extended support period, and is also the last version to have Publisher, and to use Calibri as the default font across all applications.
