======================================================================Future 
Far Cry games will be "predominantly" multiplayer-focused, according to 
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot The CEO says it wants to bring multiplayer aspects 
to the series "so that it can also be played for a long time by players" 
Guillemot's latest comments corroborate earlier reports that the next Far Cry 
game will feature multiplayer elements 

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has offered some insight into the future of the 
Far Cry series, revealing that it will be more multiplayer-focused moving 
forward. 

During Saudi Arabias New Global Sport Conference (via GameFile and VGC ), 
Guillemot was asked about the future of the long-running series and teased 
what the next entry might look like. 

He said that the goal "on Far Cry [is] really to bring the multiplayer 
aspects more predominantly pushed, so that it can also be played for a long 
time by players. 

Guillemot's comments align with a report from October 2021 following the 
release of Far Cry 6 , where it was claimed that Far Cry 7 would take the 
series in a whole different direction by "exploring a more online-oriented 
approach" for the next game. 

In January 2023, it was reported that Ubisoft was working on two Far Cry 
games , one being Far Cry 7 and the second a standalone multiplayer spin-off. 

At the time, Kotaku wrote that Guillemot mentioned both these prospective 
games in an internal company meeting and that Ubisoft is apparently switching 
from the Dunia engine to Snowdrop for the new games, the engine behind The 
Division games and Star Wars Outlaws . 

Ubisoft has yet to officially announce its next Far Cry game, but given the 
CEO's recent comments, it's likely the future of the popular shooter series 
will look much different from what we're familiar with. You might also Hollow

dev confirms 'there are distinct differences' from the Hitman series and 
calls the Bond game 'a clear succession of our skill set and our ambition' 
007 First Light won't have the same logic as the Bond movies, says dev  'We 
really were inspired by some of these classic tropes, and then we adapted 
them to fit the modern medium'
