Does Ubisoft want Far Cry 7 to stop being Far Cry?

Cry, Stop, Ubisoft

Far Cry by Ubisoft.

Far from it It's a saga that now defines part of what it is Ubisoftalthough it must be remembered that its beginnings have more to do with the landmarks PC graphics and a German company that still works, Crytek. What happens is after that Far cry 2 African and the whole universe sandbox It passed definitively into the hands of the French. Now, with the seventh (nominal) game underway, it looks like things are going to change a lot.

So much so that, unfortunately, Ubisoft decided to refocus the entire project and to do this, the first decision he took was to close any possibility of Far cry 7 arrives in stores in 2025. Surely the most likely threat of GTA VI After the summer, the Paris headquarters realized that they had nothing to do against Rockstar, so the best strategy is to save the balls for when things really get closer.

Far Cry 7 stops being Far Cry?

The information from within Ubisoft underlines two things: the first is that the French are aware of the exhaustion of their formula sandboxopen world, in their games and they put a spin on the concept. And the second, that when faced with a challenge like this, there is no possibility of error because the company's situation does not seem to be the best after the latest fiascos that hit the market.

The decision they therefore made in the face of the panorama they imagined was, above all, to begin Far cry 7 in two, separating the two souls who met there from time to time. On the one hand, we will have the single player campaign and on the other hand, the multiplayer which, according to some sources, will be a “shooter extraction” in what will be the first time we have focused so clearly on trying to become a sort of online service in the style of Valuation, Apex Legendsetc.

This way, players will be able to experience two different approaches to Far cry 7: one more or less as we have been experiencing it recently and the other with a clear objective to perpetuate itself for eternity as an online gaming alternative to the big names that succeed year after year on both PC and consoles.

Ubisoft puts limits on the campaign

Although it is not a fact that they have revealed recently, it seems that the narrative part of Far cry 7the campaign will be much more focused on the conclusion of the main story since the protagonist will have to save his family within a fixed limit of 24 real hours of gameplay. We understand that, likewise, this quantity will also evolve in real time within the history, so that the argument will gain in coherence and realism.

As we told you, the postponement to 2026 of Far cry 7 hides several reasons: on the one hand the presence of GTA VI on the market from the second half of 2025 and, on the other hand, that the French are aware that their formula sandbox It already needs a coat of paint to keep players interested and continue to count as one of the best sagas of all time.
