Ubisoft’s Far Cry Franchise has undergone a leadership change with the appointment of Drew Holmes as the new IP Director. Holmes, known for his work on titles like Far Cry 5 and Far Cry New Dawn, brings industry experience from his previous roles on games such as BioShock Infinite and the Saint’s Row series.

With Far Cry 7 currently in development, fans are hoping for a fantastic story to accompany the next installment. While Far Cry 5 received positive attention for its captivating narrative set in Montana, Far Cry New Dawn, a spin-off title set in a post-apocalyptic world, failed to deliver the same gameplay experience.

In a recent statement, Holmes expressed optimism about the future of the Far Cry franchise, stating that there are exciting plans in store for the series. However, Ubisoft has not confirmed any details regarding the release date or engine for Far Cry 7.

There have also been rumors of a standalone multiplayer game set in the Far Cry universe, described as an “extraction shooter.” Despite these speculations, Ubisoft has remained tight-lipped about any official announcements.

As fans eagerly await more information, the question remains whether the new narrative-driven Far Cry game and the multiplayer offering will revitalize the franchise after the lukewarm reception of Far Cry 6.
