Far Cry, Ubisoft’s biggest franchise after Assasin’s Creed, has been quiet for a long time. In retrospect, there has been no news since Far Cry 6, which was released in October 2021, is a new production that comes every year or two. Now, according to several sources, Ubisoft is working on Far Cry 7. Here are the details…
Allegedly, Far Cry 7 will arrive in 2025!
According to an employee who has been in the development phase of Far Cry productions many times in the past, Ubisoft is working on Far Cry 7 and a multiplayer Far Cry game. Allegedly, both Far Cry 7 codenamed Project Blackbird and a Far Cry multiplayer project codenamed Project Maverick are in development at Ubisoft Toronto. Dan Hay, who has been developing the Far Cry game for years, actually started these two projects as a whole, but when Hay left and moved to Blizzard, the project split into two.
According to rumors, the Far Cry multiplayer project will use the Tarkov system. The production, which will include features such as the backpack system and permanent death, is being developed simultaneously with Far Cry 7. Ubisoft Montreal studio also plays a big role in these games. It is also rumored that this production will take place in the wilderness of Alaska.
Ubisoft, which has not been able to put long-term games on track, except for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, will try to reach its goal with this game. However, Ubisoft will switch from the existing Dumia engine in both Far Cry 7 projects to Snowdrop, the engine used for the upcoming open-world Star Wars game. Finally, both games are expected to be released in 2025.
Ubisoft has been going through tough times lately. Finally, dealing with the strike of the Ubisoft Paris studio, the company is in economic decline as many games do not reach the expected sales. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said that in order to solve this problem, their employees need to work more devotedly. After that, the heated argument ended with a strike.
