Interestingly enough, survival against the extreme wilderness (weather, wildlife, etc.) seems to be more of a priority over worrying about other players. A survey in 2015 asked players to select their preferred locations for a possible Far Cry follow-up (thanks PCgamer), with the least ‘out there’ setting being “A Far Cry game in remote Alaska about surviving extreme wilderness”.

However, Insider Gaming understands that the game is pitched as being set in the Alaskan wilderness and is currently an extraction-based shooter with mechanics such as permadeath, a backpack system, contracts, and more.īelieve it or not, such an idea for a game could have been floating around for a long time, too.

Two sources, who have requested to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to speak about company information have said that details are still slim and Maverick has changed numerous times in the past year or so. The game was believed to be known as Project Talisker under the helm of Dan Hay until both games became their own separate entities after his departure from Blizzard Entertainment.įar Cry 7 is now internally referred to as Project Blackbird, whereas the multiplayer experience is known as Project Maverick – both projects are believed to have heavy involvement from Ubisoft Montreal.

Insider Gaming sources have revealed that two new Far Cry games are in development at Ubisoft, one presumed to be Far Cry 7 as a single-player experience and the other to be a multiplayer-only title.ĭetails on what both games entail are slim, but it’s understood that the titles were intended to be one game at one point, but separated to become two separate projects early on in development.
