Adding extra weight to this news isKotaku, who reported on Thursday that Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot mentioned both projects in an internal company update last week, according to sources present.

Recent Far Cry games have always had some sort of multiplayer component in the mix, withFar Cry 5andFar Cry 6 offering co-op, but it’s possible that given the success of Ubisoft’s online live service games such as The Division 2 and Rainbow Six Siege that any potential Far Cry multiplayer game would likely fall into the games as a service pot than just a regular co-op adventure.

Our Ed thoughtFar Cry 6was fun, but a bit much in hisFar Cry 6 review. “What you really need to know is that everything in this game exists to give you positive reinforcement,” he said. “You are Pavlov’s dog with an AK-47 slung on your back, given treats for every location you visit, for every quest you complete, for travelling to and fro between each and every map marker.”
