Inside scoop: first details on Far Cry 7, Ubisoft to limit playthrough time

It appears that following the results of Far Cry 6, a decision was made to thoroughly overhaul Ubisoft's long-running franchise

Insider Tom Henderson shared the first details about the next Far Cry. The project is currently codenamed Project Blackbird, and Tom refers to it as Far Cry 7.

As of now, the situation with Far Cry 7 looks roughly like this:

• The next Far Cry will be non-linear, with the story centered around the kidnapping of the protagonist’s family — you will have to rescue them.
• The kidnappers are a group called “Sons of Truth”; the family must be saved within a certain time limit.
• It offers 24 hours of real time (or 72 in-game hours).
• The timer won’t always be running — it can be paused by entering a safehouse
• Family members can be rescued in any order; they can die — this will affect the plot.
• An interrogation mechanic has been implemented — but the information obtained won’t always be true, enemies may lie, or refuse to answer / run away.

The release of Far Cry 7 is tentatively scheduled for autumn 2025.
