The Future Continuous Tense is usually used for:
We form the Future Perfect Tense with will/won’t + have + past participle to talk about an action that will be completed before a specific time in the future. We can usually use it with the following time expressions: by the time, in two years’ time, next week, etc.

The formula for this tense is will/won’t + have been + present participle. It shows that something will continue up until a particular event/moment in the future, highlighting how long the activity will have lasted.
