The start of the year is particularly difficult for Ubisoft, the group marked by game cancellations and financial difficulties. However, the French giant does not lose hope, which seems to have refocused on its successful franchises such as Assassin’s Creed or Far Cry as we learn from Insider Gaming sources.
Far Cry 7 and a new Far Cry dedicated to multiplayer in Ubisoft tubes?
In fact, Insider Gaming’s sources tell us today that two new Far Cry games are in development at Ubisoft, but hint that all of this information currently needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
The first would be Far Cry 7, in the same vein as the previous works, but the latter would not come alone since Ubisoft would also be working on a new Far Cry focused on multiplayer. These two concepts would be two separate games, but were originally supposed to be combined in one game. Currently, Far Cry 7 would be codenamed Project Blackbird and the Far Cry multiplayer experience would be called Project Maverick. Ubisoft Montreal would be the studio most involved in these projects.
According to the sources interviewed, Project Maverick would have evolved a lot in the last year, but the title would be set in Alaska and would be a shooter with an extraction component, a permanent death system, a backpack system or more contracts. In short, the similarities with Escape From Tarkov and the DMZ mode of Modern Warfare II seem undeniable. However, our colleagues at Insider Gaming point out that this kind of concept and the exploitation of Alaskan survival have been highly requested ideas since 2015 by the Far Cry community.
As for Project Blackbird aka Far Cry 7, the details are minor although the game could be set in the same location as Project Maverick as the two titles come from the same game.
Both games won’t see the light of day for at least another two years, with release scheduled for autumn 2025, although all of this is still unclear and subject to change. Ubisoft has not commented on these revelations, but we will have to wait for more clues in the coming months to find out what will happen to Far Cry, which is undoubtedly one of Ubisoft’s most important licenses.
