Up for some more Far Cry soon? Well, you could be in luck! According to a new report from Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson, Ubisoft has got that much Far Cry on its plate that it's decided to split its next entry into two entirely different releases.
Yep, Ubisoft Montreal is reportedly developing both Far Cry 7 and 'Project Maverick' - the latter being a multiplayer-focused project to launch before FC7. Insider Gaming reports that the team is aiming for an 'April 2025' release with Maverick.
These titles were first reported on by the same outlet back in January, although at the time, the report seemed less certain about the nature of these releases and whether they could form two parts of 'Far Cry 7' rather than separate titles. Seemingly, Project Maverick is now its own thing.
As was also mentioned earlier this year, the MP spin-off is jumping on the 'extraction shooter' trend and will be set in the Alaskan wilderness - also known as 'Alashnica' in-game. For now, none of this is confirmed so do bear that in mind, but Insider Gaming has had a decent track record with leaks and reports as of late.
Anyway, we'll keep an eye on this as it all evolves - hopefully we learn more about the future of Far Cry from Ubisoft themselves soon enough. In the meantime, if you want your Far Cry fix, why not go check out the newly-enhanced Far Cry 5 on Xbox Game Pass!

With the TV series inbound all I want is a lower cost Blood Dragon sequel. It's the best Far Cry. Took all the great mechanics from Far Cry 3 but turned all the dials up to 11, making everything fun and over the top... it's a game. Bought this together with a hilarious 80s vibe with a killer soundtrack. But most importantly it consolidated all the needless fluff in Far Cry 3 and just made less of it. Not 20 outposts but 10, not 100 mini-map icons but 50. (numbers may not be accurate but you get the idea). It didn't waste our time!
@themightyant wow I had no clue a far cry tv show was on the way, must've gotten lost in the wave of all of these adaptations.
And you're most definitely right, Blood Dragon will probably forever reign supreme.
Just saw the show will be based on fc1, kind of a shame that.
I'd kill for a drug fueled 80s blood dragon type show.
So two totally separate Project Mavericks from separate developers were stating to be in development today? Huh…

Was hyped until I read "multiplayer".
@themightyant wow that looks amazing 😍
@somnambulance Yep 😅
NO! Another franchise ruined but a always online DRM.
Ubisoft loves to take DLC type content, pad it out with filler and then try to charge full price for it. Assassin's Creed Mirage for example. In this case if "Maverick" is a multiplayer game it better be FTP or it will be DOA.
Multplayer no thanks I wish company's woukd just concentrate on single player games and these live service games nobody wants
@Dan1283 well someone wants the live service games, if they didn’t the studios wouldn’t be going so hard on them
@Adol-Bannings they must do unfortunately certainly not most gamers especially hardcore gamers
@somnambulance three actually. I'm formally announcing that I'm currently developing a new game tentatively titled Project Maverick.
Seems we have a bunch of Top Gun fans.
