Far Cry is in active development at Ubisoft, with the canceled extraction shooter Maverick replaced by the open-world FPS Kodiak, and a numbered sequel Blackbird also in development. A limited-time crossover with World of Tanks runs July 16-27.
Ubisoft has shifted Far Cry development away from the extraction shooter Maverick, which has been canceled. Insider Gaming reports that Vantage Studios is now working on a new project codenamed Kodiak, an open-world FPS built around player interaction and player-driven stories. A numbered sequel, Blackbird, is also in development and includes multiplayer elements.
The pivot comes as Ubisoft aims to recover from significant operating losses, with major brand releases planned for fiscal 2027. Kodiak represents a strategic move toward player-driven open-world design, a departure from the extraction shooter format that Maverick had pursued.
Separately, Wargaming and Ubisoft have partnered for a limited-time World of Tanks event inspired by the Far Cry series. The Battle Pass Special Chapter: FAR CRY runs July 16-27 and introduces the M-VII-Y heavy tank with a 3D style, five Far Cry characters with voice packs, and themed 2D styles. Players earn rewards through stages and special missions.
