A new rumor suggests that Ubisoft is currently developing a second Far Cry game, in addition to the previously leaked Far Cry 7. As one of Ubisoft's most popular franchises, it's not surprising that new installments are being planned. However, fans should approach these rumors with caution, although it's worth noting that the leaks have originated from a generally reliable source.
Insider Gaming, known for leaking information in the past, revealed the existence of Far Cry 7. According to their report, the game is set to be released in 2025 and will utilize the Snowdrop engine featured in Massive Entertainment's Division games and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. The report also suggests that Far Cry 7 will introduce significant changes to the traditional Far Cry formula. Players will be under a time constraint, having only 72 hours to save their kidnapped family members from the dangerous group known as the Sons of Truth. Notably, the choice of which family member to rescue first is flexible, and their fate will impact the progression of the story.
The authenticity of the Far Cry 7 leaks remains unverified, but a recent leak from Insider Gaming suggests that an additional Far Cry project may be in the works. According to the leak, this project is a multiplayer extraction shooter known internally as Project Maverick. Players can anticipate the familiar and immersive Far Cry gameplay, allowing them to utilize the resources they discover in the game world to craft new gear and useful items. Additionally, the game will introduce a headquarters for players to store their valuable possessions, ensuring their safety. However, it is important to note that the permadeath system in the game means that players will lose everything in the event of their demise.
According to Insider Gaming, the Far Cry multiplayer game is set in a fictional version of Alaska and may be released before Far Cry 7, possibly in April 2025. It is advised that fans wait for official information from Ubisoft before getting too excited about the idea of a Far Cry extraction shooter game. However, the claims made in the Insider Gaming report do not seem overly extreme. If the rumors are true, this would not be the first time that Far Cry has experimented with online multiplayer. Previous Far Cry games have included co-op features, and Far Cry 3 had traditional competitive multiplayer modes. Ubisoft has faced challenges in launching online multiplayer-focused games in recent years, so even after the official announcement, fans should temper their expectations until the new Far Cry game is actually released.
