New Far Cry Game Reportedly in the Works After Extraction Shooter Spin-Off Is Canceled
Ubisoft has replaced the canceled extraction-shooter spinoff with Kodiak, an open-world FPS built around player-driven stories and reused development work.
- Ubisoft has canceled its Far Cry spinoff codenamed Maverick after years of development, replacing it with an ambitious open-world FPS internally called Codenamed Kodiak that will reuse assets from the scrapped project.
- The canceled Far Cry spinoff Maverick was an extraction shooter set in Alaska that suffered from numerous development issues, prompting Ubisoft to ultimately scrap the concept entirely.
- Tom Henderson reports that Codenamed Kodiak prioritizes emergent storytelling, describing the open-world FPS as a title where "player interactions and player-driven stories take center stage."
- Unfortunately, the new project has only recently "passed its conception" stage, meaning Codenamed Kodiak could still be years away from official release despite asset reuse.
- Meanwhile, the next mainline game internally codenamed Blackbird faces repeated delays, though Tom Henderson noted FC7 is on a "good path" and Ubisoft has not yet announced a reveal date.
