How many years have we heard about the so-called future of Far Cry? Ubisoft has never revealed what’s to come, but following its massive internal reset, CEO Yves Guillemot finally confirmed that two new projects are in the works.

“On ‘Far Cry,’ anticipation is high, and we currently have two very promising projects in development,” he told Variety. So not much to go on, but with rumors about the extraction shooter project, reportedly codenamed Project Maverick, being in trouble, it seems to have survived the recent cancellation spree.

Of course, Far Cry is only one of the franchises that fall under Vantage Studios. Assassin’s Creed is another, with Guillemot assuring that “several titles are in development, spanning both single-player and multiplayer experiences, with the ambition to further grow a community that exceeded 30 million players last year.”

Thus far, we know that Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe is in development for an alleged 2027 release. The long-rumored remake of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag could be revealed sometime in April despite allegedly being delayed to next year. Then there’s the ever-mysterious Invictus, which has yet to receive any details since its announcement (and apparently isn’t inspiring much enthusiasm among some of the development team).

Otherwise, it seems that the brand, which was overperforming per Ubisoft’s fiscal report, hasn’t escaped the cancellation curse. A co-op project called League, allegedly meant for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, was reportedly cancelled. After that, reports emerged of a mobile title known as Assassin’s Creed Singularity that had been cancelled after a “couple of years” of work.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows continues to receive updates, the latest adding a manual jump feature and detailed stats sheets. But while Claws of Awaji is coming to Switch 2 on March 10th, you shouldn’t expect another expansion this year on the same scale.

Ubisoft chief executive officer Yves Guillemot has finally spoken outside of the company's financial earnings reports after kicking off 2026 by confirming a "major reset" that involved huge structural changes to Ubisoft and saw hundreds of developers get laid off, either through cuts at different branches or just full studio shutdowns. In an interview with Variety, Guillemot didn't offer any meaningful comments in response to questions about the strikes across different studios within the company or provide any further comment as to why projects like Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake were cancelled that we hadn't heard before.

Speaking during an interview with Variety, Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubisoft, has revealed details on the publisher’s plans going forward, after news emerged earlier this year that it is undergoing a major restructuring that involved the cancellation of six titles.

As previously reported, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was among the casualties of Ubisoft’s revamp, while seven other games — one of which is believed to be the as-yet unannounced Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Remake — were pushed back. In addition, Ubisoft announced plans to cut 200 staff at its Paris headquarters, and yesterday it was confirmed that 40 staff were let go at Ubisoft Toronto.

“On Far Cry, anticipation is high, and we currently have two very promising projects in development,” said Guillemot. In regards to Assassin’s Creed, the executive confirmed Ubisoft has “several titles” in the pipeline, including single-player and multiplayer offerings.

When asked about accusations of nepotism that emerged in wake of the announcement of Vantage Studios, he continued:

Ubisoft was created as a family company, and our strong heritage helps us take a long-term view, prioritizing sustainable growth, creative ambition, and continuity over short-term cycles. This perspective guides our decisions and helps us build franchises, teams, and strategies that endure for decades.

I strongly believe that Christophe Derennes and Charlie are the right leaders as Co-CEOs of Vantage Studios. They bring complementary strengths and experience that make them well-suited for the role.

In regards to the new Far Cry games, it has been rumoured for some time that Ubisoft is working on Far Cry 7, alongside an Extraction shooter known internally as Project Maverick. Leaker Rogue I TX stated in November last year that the Extraction mode has been baked into Far Cry 7, although Tom Henderson had claimed that both projects were once a singular experience before being split in two.

No one really knows at this point what’s happening, but given Guillemot’s comments about two Far Cry games being in the works, it seems to indicate that they are indeed separate. Back in December 2024, Henderson stated that both titles were delayed to 2026.
