Ubisoft's Far Cry series has found itself in uncharted territory in recent years. After consistently releasing high-profile main entries interspersed with expansions and spin-offs of varying length (and quality), Far Cry's presence in the FPS open-world genre it helped popularize has been less prominent compared to its previous patterns, with the series having gone its longest now since FC 6 in 2021 without another entry. In addition, the studio has kept mostly quiet about its status and plans, leaving many fans wondering about its future direction.
