It has been over three years since the last mainline Far Cry game was released, and Ubisoft has been radio silent regarding the franchise's next entry. The Far Cry series initially gained traction with players thanks to its survival mechanics, dense open worlds, and charismatic villains. However, increasingly repetitive and uninspired gameplay from recent entries like Far Cry 5 and Far Cry 6 caused the series to lose its momentum. Ubisoft has been taking its time with Far Cry 7, and recent rumors indicate that the developer will be taking a big swing with this next game.
