Separate single and multiplayer Far Cry games reportedly in development

One of the most consistent Ubisoft franchises is that of Far Cry, with the open world FPS series being generally liked across the board. It is therefore unsurprising to see that Far Cry 7 is reportedly in development. Interestingly, so too is a standalone multiplayer title.

As reported by Insider Gaming, Ubisoft currently has two Far Cry projects in the works – a single player experience codenamed Project Blackbird as well as a standalone multiplayer title dubbed Project Maverick. Interestingly, these two titles were once one, before being split up into separate experiences at some point during development.

A few details were shared in particular with regards to the multiplayer Project Maverick, with Insider Gaming claiming that the title has seen a great deal of evolution and change over the course of its development – though as it currently stands, the game is seemingly an extraction-based shooter set in the Alaskan Wilderness and will include genre staples such as permadeath; a backpack system; contracts; lootable chests; extraction zones and more.

Internally, these two titles are planned for release in ‘Fall 2025’ though with how far away that still is, anything can change between now and then.

The Far Cry series has in recent years focused on offering drop-in drop-out co-op within the single-player titles for a rather casual but fun multiplayer experience. It seems as though Ubisoft is opting to move away from such a tactic, and so it will be interesting to see just how different Far Cry 7 and the multiplayer games are from each other – as well as previous entries.
