Far Cry, the long-running action-shooter franchise, is being reshaped for its next major installment. According to recent reporting from credible Ubisoft insiders, Far Cry 7 is undergoing significant internal changes and will pivot toward extraction-shooter mechanics rather than the series' traditional open-world campaign structure. The game reportedly features PvEvP gameplay with a 72-hour time limit, weapon durability systems, and a scavenging loop centered around rescuing family members from a group called the Sons of Truth.

This represents a major departure from the franchise's established formula, sparking debate about whether such a radical redesign serves the property well. Ubisoft has confirmed new Far Cry, Splinter Cell, and Ghost Recon projects are in development, though the publisher indicated this year will see relatively quieter release activity compared to previous years.
