Ubisoft Confirms Two Far Cry Games
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed two new Far Cry games are in development by different teams, alongside "several" single-player and multiplayer Assassin's Creed projects. The announcement comes as part of broader company restructuring aimed at reinvigorating core franchises after recent delays and pivots.
- The two projects are reportedly a mainline sequel, *Far Cry 7* (codenamed Blackbird), and a standalone multiplayer extraction-based shooter set in the Alaskan wilderness (codenamed Maverick). - Leaks for *Far Cry 7* suggest a non-linear story centered on the kidnapping of the protagonist's family, which must be rescued within a 72-hour in-game timeframe, equivalent to 24 real-world hours. - The next mainline *Far Cry* will reportedly switch from the Dunia engine, used by the series since *Far Cry 2*, to the Snowdrop engine that powers *The Division* franchise. - The broader restructuring at Ubisoft is part of a "major reset" intended
