After a sixth installment that clearly failed to achieve consensus, Far Cry 7 could bring a radical change to Ubisoft’s FPS franchise.
In any case, this is what we can see in a job offer from Ubisoft about Far Cry 7. Historically it was a franchise that only offered a first-person perspective, its seventh opus could break this paradigm in whole or in part.
Another future prospect for Far Cry 7?
Released in 2021 on PC and consoles, the sixth opus of the franchise met with a rather cold reception, due to a formula that seriously struggled to renew itself. With this in mind, Ubisoft seems to have plans to change players’ habits with Far Cry 7. For now, we only know through leaks and rumors that it will be released in fall 2025 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series. It would take place on a fictional island near Korea, in a sort of race against time to save our family. A job offer The French giant has since emerged to reveal possible details about its gameplay.
She is interested in finding a lead gameplay animator. This is one of the candidate’s missions that has particularly aroused the curiosity of those waiting for Far Cry 7.” You are responsible for creating animation systems for the player in the first person perspective as well as a corresponding animation hint for the third person perspective “. As a reminder, the sixth work somewhat broke the first-person perspective with cutscenes in which we could see our character.
While I wait for official confirmation from a busy Ubisoft
It therefore seems that Far Cry 7 takes this change a little further by allowing us to switch between first and third person. However, reading this job posting, some speculate that this only refers to the co-op and multiplayer modes and not the single-player campaign. We will of course have to wait for an official announcement from Ubisoft to see if this is indeed the case. Regardless, the title is obviously still a long way from release. The French giant is currently busy with other major new arrivals that are much closer, namely Star Wars Outlaws on August 30 and Assassin’s Creed Shadows on November 15.
