Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has hinted at a shift towards a more multiplayer-focused approach for the Far Cry series in the future. Speaking at a conference in Saudi Arabia, Guillemot emphasized the company’s goal of enhancing the multiplayer aspects of the game to provide players with a long-lasting gaming experience.

Guillemot’s comments come amidst reports of Ubisoft working on the next mainline entry, Far Cry 7, as well as a multiplayer-only spin-off set in the Alaskan wilderness. This potential shift in focus towards multiplayer gameplay marks a departure from the series’ traditional single-player experience known for its explosive action and immersive storytelling.

While past Far Cry titles have incorporated co-op and online multiplayer modes, the upcoming emphasis on multiplayer could signal a new direction for the franchise. Players have enjoyed the series’ map editors, allowing for creative freedom in designing custom levels and scenarios.

As discussions around the future of Far Cry continue, fans reminisce about the series’ standout moments, from setting ablaze vast landscapes to engaging in intense firefights. Each entry in the franchise has brought its own unique flavor, with some players favoring the early titles like Far Cry 2 and 3, while others find enjoyment in the original game and its prehistoric spin-off, Primal.

With Far Cry 6 already released, some players are eagerly anticipating the next installment, while others remain skeptical about the shift towards multiplayer gameplay. Whether the future of Far Cry lies in a more collaborative multiplayer experience or a return to its single-player roots, one thing is certain – the series continues to captivate players with its dynamic gameplay and immersive worlds.
