Rumour: 'Really Ambitious' Open World Far Cry Game Enters Development as Ubisoft Kills Series' Extraction Shooter
Key Points:
- Ubisoft is developing a new ambitious Far Cry game codenamed Kodiak, which has completed its conceptualisation phase and focuses on player interactions and player-driven stories.
- Kodiak is being developed alongside Blackbird, the next mainline Far Cry installment, which is expected to be Far Cry 7 and is likely to release before Kodiak.
- The previously reported multiplayer extraction shooter project, Maverick, has been cancelled, with Kodiak being built on its foundations.
- Kodiak is still several years away from release, indicating a longer development timeline, while Blackbird is expected to arrive sooner.
- Following Ubisoft's restructuring, the Far Cry franchise appears to be moving forward again with multiple projects in development, signaling a potential revitalization of the series.
