Ubisoft Says Future Far Cry Games Will Put Multiplayer Front and Center

The company says the pivot is meant to keep players engaged for longer.

Overview

  • Speaking at Saudi Arabia’s New Global Sport Conference, CEO Yves Guillemot said the goal is to "bring the multiplayer aspects more predominantly pushed" so players can play longer.
  • Ubisoft offered no confirmation of specific game formats, engines, platforms, or release timing for upcoming entries.
  • Press reports from 2023 indicated work on Far Cry 7 and a separate extraction-style multiplayer project set in Alaska, with Far Cry 7 reportedly moving to the Snowdrop engine; none of these details are confirmed.
  • Coverage earlier this year reported the standalone multiplayer project was rebooted, with resources redirected toward Far Cry 7.
  • The series has returned to Ubisoft Montreal leadership with Sandra Warren and Drew Holmes elevated, and recent reporting notes oversight by a new Tencent-backed subsidiary.
