Ubisoft Wants To Reinvent The Far Cry Series With Its Next Two Games - Report

Ubisoft is reportedly trying to break away from the typical open-world formula that the Far Cry series is known for with the next two entries.

According to Insider Gaming, there are two Far Cry games in the works: a mainline game codenamed Blackbird and an extraction shooter spin-off codenamed Maverick. Ubisoft is also reportedly switching proprietary engines, now opting for the Snowdrop engine that was used for games like The Division instead of Dunia, the usual engine that the Far Cry series uses.

In Maverick, players reportedly are placed in the Alaskan wilderness where they have to fight against other players, animals, and weather. In Blackbird, the story reportedly revolves around the main character having to rescue his family from a cult.
