AusGamers has posted an opinion piece looking at where Ubisoft needs to take the Far Cry series next, after taking us into the past in Far Cry Primal.
Here's a snippet:
"A little while ago we wrote a feature asking Ubisoft to set the next Far Cry, after Far Cry 4, in Australia. It went gangbusters. It also resonated with people because we questioned a few design pitfalls the series had been repeating for far too long. Obviously the next game wasn’t set in Australia, though boldly Ubisoft chose to take us into the Stone Age where we would learn to master ancient beasts such as Sabretooth Cats, Wooly Mammoths, Lions, Tigers and Bears… oh my.
Some of those design pitfalls were still front and centre in Far Cry Primal, but as I discussed in our review, they worked more fluidly because of the context of the game -- the main character, the world itself, the progression and crafting systems and so on. But having devolved the series -- in aesthetic -- the question now arises as to...
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
Rather have trex chase me down and it look really really good. Ark looks great and fun but not with the detail ubisoft can do with farcry.
It's only a matter of time until we get Far Cry...IN SPACE!
I love what they did with Blood Dragon. As long as they maintain that same creativity we should be alright!
Wouldn't be surprised if it's indeed set in space with a Riddick + Alien feel. Sci-fi is booming
The Next Far Cry for me should be set in space. A mars type environment/Doom. Exploration. Ubi could pull it off.
Give the series a year or two break. We don't want it rammed down our throats ALA Assassins Creed.
