Ubisoft Reboots Far Cry Multiplayer Shooter as Company Refocuses Development

The extraction-based Project Maverick is being reworked after an internal review, with resources redirected to Far Cry 7's development.

Project Maverick, a Far Cry multiplayer extraction shooter, has been rebooted after being separated from Far Cry 7 during early development in 2023.
The game was set in Alaska, featuring survival gameplay against harsh conditions, wild animals, AI soldiers, and other players.
Ubisoft shifted Maverick's development team to focus on Far Cry 7, codenamed Blackbird, with a projected release in 2026.
The reboot is part of Ubisoft's broader effort to streamline its projects and address financial and organizational challenges.
Playtesting for Maverick reportedly received positive feedback, but its future remains uncertain as Ubisoft prioritizes its mainline titles.
