Ubisoft leaker shares new details on Far Cry 7

Far Cry 7 looks set to be a big deal for Ubisoft, with the open-world FPS series serving as one of the publisher’s core franchises. This is even more so the case when considering the fact that we’ve not had a new entry since 2021 – marking by far the longest time in between releases. Officially, we still do not know what’s in store, but according to one insider Far Cry 7 might be taking inspiration from extraction shooters.

For years now, we have been hearing various leaks and rumours surrounding Far Cry, with the primary consensus being that Ubisoft is working on two games right now: Far Cry 7 (known as project Blackbird) and a multiplayer extraction shooter spin-off (project Maverick).

As reported by Ubisoft leaker RogueTX however, Far Cry 7 might also be impacted by the extraction shooter craze, claiming that Far Cry 7 will feature a “High-stakes PvEvP scavenge and extract survival loop.”

Alongside this revelation, other ancillary details include:

• Previously-reported time-limit mechanic is still present
• You will have to rescue up to 6 family members throughout the story
• There will be a safehouse of sorts
• Weapon durability will be a core mechanic
• Featured fauna include grizzly bears, wolves, foxes and deers

As mentioned, Ubisoft is already said to be working on a multiplayer-focused extraction shooter based on Far Cry, and so the need to include similar elements and even PvP into the narrative-focused Far Cry 7 makes little sense.

Either way, it is safe to say that Ubisoft seems to be taking things back to the drawing board when it comes to Far Cry 7. It will be interesting to see how different the project winds up being.

KitGuru says: What do you think of these leaked details? Would you welcome optional PvPvE in the next Far Cry? Are you over extraction shooters at this point? Let us know down below.
