It will soon be two years since the release of Far Cry 6, so work on the next installment makes sense. Official confirmation has emerged that the project is in the works and is being handled by the Canadian branch Ubisoft Toronto.
The studio behind Splinter Cell Blacklist and the last two Far Cry games has posted a dozen job openings.
A post on Twitter/X states that the new hires will join the team responsible for the Far Cry brand (a few openings also relate to Splinter Cell). The studio is mainly looking for artists, UI and level designers, as well as a technical director, which points to an early stage of development.
It looks like Far Cry 7 is in the works, but we may have to wait 2–3 years for its release. A longer production cycle could indicate changes to the core mechanics and gameplay formula.
Far Cry 6 sold well, but failed to surpass the commercial success of Far Cry 5. Judging by player feedback, the Far Cry New Dawn formula has started to wear thin on gamers who were expecting something fresh.
