Far Cry in Danger? Ubisoft Changes Series for Multiplayer - Insider
Despite internal problems, including the cancellation of six projects and postponements, Ubisoft is not abandoning its plans for the Far Cry series. Rumor has it that the publisher is aiming to turn the franchise into a billion-dollar brand with an annual release cycle.
Two projects are in development: the main seventh installment, known as Project Blackbird, and the multiplayer spin-off Project Maverick.
The extraction shooter Project Maverick remains extremely unstable. After a reboot in early 2025, the team still hasn't decided on the final game loop. Henderson jokes that if hero shooters regain popularity, the developers may change the fundamentals of the game.
Judging by leaks, Far Cry 7 takes place in picturesque New England, and the developers will strengthen network elements and offer long-term support. The success of the new games in the series will be critical to Ubisoft's financial situation.
