## What’s happening with Far Cry 7?
For the past five years, Ubisoft fans have been eagerly awaiting the sequel to *Far Cry 6*. Recent behind‑the‑scenes revelations show that the project is going through a period of great instability. Journalist Tom Henderson, a participant in the *Insider Gaming Weekly* podcast, described the situation as a real mess, with scope changes that have significantly delayed the team’s progress.
## Main challenges and direction changes
– **Release window**: According to Henderson, the game is still at least two years away from a release date, pointing to 2025 as a likely horizon.
– **Multiplayer focus**: Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubisoft, stated that the next installment of the franchise should prioritize multiplayer modes to extend the title’s longevity.
– **Internal conflicts**: The new emphasis has caused friction within the developer, resulting in the abandonment of ideas such as turning *Far Cry 7* into an *extraction shooter*—a proposal that was redirected into an independent spin‑off.
– **Innovative mechanics**: Sources indicate the game will feature a 24‑hour real‑time limit system, reminiscent of the *Dead Rising* gameplay.
– **Story**: The plot will revolve around the Bennet family, presenting a power struggle inspired by the series *Succession*.
## Updates on other Ubisoft projects
Henderson took the opportunity to comment on the company’s overall landscape:
– **Ghost Recon**: Considered essential for Ubisoft’s next fiscal year.
– **Rayman Legends Remake**: The *Rayman Legends* remake is progressing at a satisfactory pace.
– **Watch Dogs Legion**: There are rumors of a director’s cut or a remaster with additional content.
– **Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown**: The insider expressed skepticism about reports of a new project, pointing out inconsistencies in the information released.
