Ubisoft Reboots Development on Far Cry Multiplayer Extraction Shooter

The project, codenamed Maverick, was initially part of Far Cry 7 but has been restructured as a standalone game with no confirmed release date.

Project Maverick, a Far Cry multiplayer extraction shooter set in Alaska, has been rebooted to streamline development after internal reviews.
Originally intended as a multiplayer mode for Far Cry 7, Maverick evolved into a standalone project before being reset for prototyping by Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Sherbrooke.
The game will feature survival gameplay against harsh weather, wild animals, AI soldiers, and other players, with early playtests reportedly receiving positive feedback on gameplay and movement mechanics.
Ubisoft's decision to reboot Maverick aligns with its broader efforts to restructure operations during financial struggles, including layoffs and project cancellations.
Far Cry 7, codenamed Blackbird, remains in development with a potential 2026 release, though some developers view this timeline as optimistic.
