Far Cry has been unusually quiet since the most recent entry in the long-running open-world FPS series. After 2021's sixth main installment, Far Cry news and updates have been sparse and sporadic, and very little official information has been made known about the assumed next game's progress and direction. Previously, the franchise had a steady release schedule, and fans had come to expect a new title every few years, starting with Far Cry 3 in 2012.
