Ubisoft Reboots Far Cry Multiplayer Shooter Project Maverick

The rebooted project, initially tied to Far Cry 7, faces uncertainty as Ubisoft prioritizes its mainline sequel and restructures its development strategy.

Project Maverick, a Far Cry multiplayer extraction shooter set in Alaska, has been rebooted with its future unclear following internal development shifts.
Originally planned as a multiplayer mode for Far Cry 7, Maverick evolved into a standalone project before being reset for further prototyping.
Ubisoft Montreal has redirected resources to Far Cry 7, codenamed Blackbird, aiming for a potential 2026 release with gameplay changes under development.
Internal playtesting for Maverick reportedly received positive feedback, though no official release timeline has been confirmed.
Ubisoft's financial struggles and restructuring efforts, including layoffs and project cancellations, have influenced its decision to streamline development priorities.
