Far Cry fans can rejoice with the recent news that Ubisoft is planning not one, but two new entries in the much-loved FPS series.
We knew Ubisoft had been secretly working on at least one Far Cry instalment since the last entry, Far Cry 6, was released back in 2021. However, details were pretty scarce but now it seems that we can look forward to at least two-brand new entries.

Although they are not expected to be released this year, we can expect them in this console generation and after a long wait for the next instalment (by Far Cry standards), it is exciting news for fans of the series which was first released way back in 2004.
According to a recent report, Far Cry fans can expect two new games between 2025 and 2026 with one being a mainline entry codenamed ‘Project Blackbird’. The mainline entry is reportedly set to be released before the second title, codenamed ‘Project Maverick’, which is rumoured to be the first multiplayer entry in the series.
Although Insider Gaming claims this information is from an official source, it is still yet to be confirmed so remember to take this information with a pinch of salt. However, it does line up with rumours that have been swirling online over the past few years.
Regardless of what we can expect next in the Far Cry series, it will need to do remarkably well in order to boost ratings. Since Far Cry 3, the FPS series has been rapidly declining in popularity with many fans complaining about its copy-and-paste gameplay and story. As a result, Far Cry 6 sits at just a 5.2 user rating on Metacritic. In comparison, Far Cry 3 is way ahead with a generally favourable 8.4.
