The rumor mill is churning, and the news from Ubisoft is anything but appetizing. According to insider reports, the development of Far Cry 7 in a dead end, which pushes the release far into the future.
Ubisoft remains silent, but the industry is whispering loudly. At the center of the unease is Tom Henderson, whose sources describe the development of the next big shooter as "complete chaos“Describe it. While fans were hoping for an announcement soon, everything now points to a wait of several years. That hurts.”
Development of "Project Blackbird" stalls
Actually, Far Cry 7 – internally under the code name Project Blackbird The series is known for its fresh mechanics, including a real-time timer and non-linear missions. The idea is a 72-hour deadline, with the story revolving around the kidnapping of your family by the "Sons of Truth." According to the leak, players have exactly 72 in-game hours to rescue them.
But the engine is apparently sputtering badly. There are reports of internal problems so severe that a release before 2027 or even 2028 seems unrealistic. Henderson emphasizes that the game's foundation and core ideas are promising, but the implementation is currently faltering at every turn.
A technical meltdown is imminent. If the pipeline isn't fixed quickly, Ubisoft's servers will soon be smoking – with error messages instead of player load.
Multiplayer spin-off still in limbo after reboot
In addition to the main game, Ubisoft is working on a Extraction shooter in the Far Cry universe, called Project MaverickBut anyone hoping for fast-paced action will be disappointed. The project was completely revamped and relaunched back in 2025. The focus is now possibly on a survival experience in the Alaskan wilderness, if the latest reports are accurate.
However, those in management seem skeptical. This follows the debacle surrounding other live service attempts such as... xdefiant Fears of another flop are growing. Ubisoft is currently burning through massive resources while simultaneously restructuring the entire company.
For players, this means: patience is not a wish, but a necessity. Between the last installment and Far Cry 7 This will likely be the longest period in the franchise's history. If Ubisoft doesn't turn things around, they risk losing touch with the genre's top players.
