The extraction shooter set in the Far Cry universe, originally planned to unfold in the harsh wilderness of Alaska, has undergone a complete reboot, according to a report from Insider Gaming. Initially known by the codename Project Maverick, the game was conceived as a multiplayer expansion to Far Cry 7. However, following an internal review, the development path took a drastic turn. Despite receiving positive feedback from employees and testers, Ubisoft's management chose to divert the majority of resources to Project Blackbird, the main focus being Far Cry 7. The decision to reassign the technical team to other projects ultimately sealed the fate of the multiplayer component.
The responsibility for this rebooted project has now shifted to Ubisoft Sherbrooke, a studio known for its expertise in development support. Nearly the entire original team behind Project Maverick has been reassigned to work on the highly anticipated next installment of the Far Cry series.

As reported by insider Tom Henderson in mid-December 2024, Far Cry 7 is set to plunge players into an environment filled with tension and desperation, where time itself becomes the ultimate adversary. The game's narrative will focus on the protagonist's urgent mission to rescue their family, kidnapped by a sinister cult involved in terrifying experiments using hallucinogens on animals and children. Players will race against time, with a strict in-game deadline of 72 hours, translating to 24 hours in real time, making time management a pivotal element of the gameplay experience.
A unique feature of Far Cry 7 will be a timer displayed on the protagonist's wristwatch, serving as a constant reminder of the ticking clock. This mechanic is designed to intensify the sense of urgency, compelling players to make swift, strategic decisions. Far Cry 7 aims to offer a gripping experience where every second is precious, and every decision can lead to significant outcomes.
