With Ubisoft rumoured to be engaged on a singleplayer sequel and a few type of live-service multiplayer follow-up, the studio has gently put Far Cry 6 out to pasture. Whereas the sport’s on-line providers will proceed, it will not obtain any updates in future. Yara will forevermore be what it’s in the present day, not less than till these on-line providers get switched off too.
Ubisoft made the announcement on the official Far Cry Twitter account, reassuring gamers that their “adventures can proceed in Yara [without] interruption of on-line providers,” however that “the dev crew will not be making updates to Far Cry 6.” The tweet did not explicitly say something concerning the motive for that, however provided that it has been two years for the reason that sport got here out and a brand new Far Cry is as inevitable because the rising solar, it is not too troublesome to place two and two collectively.
Due to the tens of millions of gamers who joined the struggle!

Rumours swirling in January this yr prompt that Ubisoft was engaged on some type of Far Cry extraction shooter along with a extra conventional Far Cry 7. If actual, it sounds just like the type of factor that will shake up the collection’ predictable mould a bit, albeit by adopting the mould of video games like Escape from Tarkov or Name of Responsibility’s DMZ mode.
The collection badly wants it. To be trustworthy, although, I would fairly see the sport’s singleplayer modified up. I do not actually desire a multiplayer Far Cry a lot as a Far Cry that takes the system from the final three video games (and their numerous expansions) and finds a solution to evolve it.
Maybe we’ll get that too. If the reporting from January was correct, Ubisoft is shifting over to the Snowdrop engine for its subsequent Far Cry initiatives. I will hold my fingers crossed that change will spark some improvements throughout the complete collection. I do not assume we’ll have to attend lengthy for Ubisoft to inform us extra.
