Far Cry 7 is reportedly set in the Alaskan wilderness- here are more details on the game and the Far Cry Multiplayer-Only game.
Two new Far Cry games are reportedly in development. One of them is a multiplayer title. This information comes from anonymous sources from Ubisoft, right after it was announced that 3 games from the developers were canceled. Here is everything we know about these Far Cry games currently in development at Ubisoft.
Two new Far Cry games in development
A mainline game in the Far Cry series, which is expected to be Far Cry 7, is currently in development at Ubisoft. The second game is a multiplayer only title, according to the internal sources of Insider Gaming. The development of the two games had apparently started off as a single title, codenamed Project Talisker. It was said to be under the supervision of Day Hay. The multiplayer mode eventually separated out to become a second title, which is now being referred to as Project Maverick. Far Cry 7, the mainline game, is reportedly being referred to as Project Blackbird. Both the games are being developed with close supervision of Ubisoft Montreal.
Far Cry 7- Details
There’s further proof of a Far Cry 7 in development. Last year, Alex Ferandez, who voices Juan Cortez in the Far Cry series, posted a tweet with a picture of himself in a recording session. It included the hashtags “JuanCortezLives” and “Navface”. Also, the screen he was reading out of contained the following lines- “Enemy spy activated Sonar Vision. Wish we had that back when I was KGB.” This is too big and heavy of an idea to not be a part of a mainline game, especially since Far Cry 6 DLC is now completely out.
Far Cry multiplayer game- Details
As for the multiplayer game, Insider Gaming’s sources inform that “Project Maverick has changed numerous times in the past year or so”. Therefore not much details are currently available to be circulated. Regardless, the sources inform that the game will be set in the Alaskan wilderness, which is a fan-requested setting for Far Cry. As for the progress of the development in present, it is currently, “an extraction-based shooter with mechanics such as permadeath, a backpack system, contracts, and more.” Insider Gaming has reportedly seen screenshots of the game in development as well, which show lootable chests, extraction zones, and more.
