Multiple reports say Ubisoft has started development on a new Far Cry installment. NDTV reports that the project is an “ambitious” open-world first-person shooter, reportedly codenamed “Kodiak,” and that it completed its conceptualisation phase earlier in the month. Polygon reports that Ubisoft’s development focus has shifted away from a previously planned Far Cry project referred to as “Far Cry Maverick,” which the outlet says was abandoned. Polygon adds that the team moves to another game codenamed Kodiak. Separately, NDTV says the new Kodiak project is distinct from the next mainline Far Cry title that is also reportedly in development at Ubisoft’s Vantage Studios. Across the coverage, the central point is that Ubisoft is working on a new open-world Far Cry game under the Kodiak code name, while at least one earlier Far Cry project is no longer proceeding. The reports do not provide release dates, platforms, or further gameplay details beyond the description of an open-world first-person shooter, and they frame the information as based on reporting rather than official announcements.
