Ubisoft may cancel projects with a vengeance, the license far cry seems to be protected from this fatal fate, despite the mixed reviews around the sixth opus. The latter seemed to show that the series had somewhat come to the end of its idea, with a hackneyed formula that really needs to be rethought if the publisher does not want to go straight into the wall. Whether it is or not, Far Cry 7 seems to be in development, at least according to Tom Henderson.
Two episodes on the Snowdrop Engine?
The interested party affirms it on his Insider Gaming site, but his remarks were then supported by the same sources as Kotaku. This seventh canonical episode would not be the only one far cry in development, given that a multiplayer standalone is also said to be in the works.
According to the insider, these two projects were initially one, before being separated. the far cry multiplayer oriented would today be called Project Maverick internally, and would have undergone many changes in recent months. Henderson’s sources today claim that the title would take place in Alaska, thought of as a shooter with targets to extract and permadeath and contract mechanics. Chests would also be present on the map.
Far Cry 7 would be known as Project Blackbirdbut the details about him are too few at the moment. Kotaku argues that Ubisoft would use the Snowdrop Engine here for this new episodei.e. the engine used by The Division.
For now, the internal target date for these titles would be fall 2025, but they might see later given the problems the editor is having. Nothing confirmed yet, but Henderson has already proven that he has many connections within Ubisoft, which suggests that all of this could be true.
