## A New Far Cry Game is on the Way

Ubisoft has decided to develop the next installment in the Far Cry franchise. This game is described as a 'really ambitious' open-world FPS. However, Far Cry 7 has yet to be officially announced.

## Development Process Begins

According to a report from Insider Gaming, the new Far Cry game, codenamed Kodiak, has begun development at Ubisoft's subsidiary Vantage Studios. This game retains the franchise's typical open-world FPS format.

## Canceled Project

Another game in the Far Cry franchise, codenamed Maverick, was also in development but has been canceled. The foundational elements of the canceled game will be used in the Kodiak project.

## Details of Kodiak

Kodiak will focus on player interactions and player-driven stories. According to the report, this game will be 'really ambitious' and is still several years away from release.

## Blackbird Project

Ubisoft continues to work on the mainline game, known as Blackbird, which is expected to be Far Cry 7. Far Cry fans last saw a mainline entry in the franchise in 2021.

## The Future of the Franchise

The Far Cry franchise is expanding with new games and a TV series. Fans are eagerly anticipating both the game and the series.
