Rumor: Ubisoft Has Restarted Development of Project Maverick
A report from Insider Gaming reveals a complete reboot for the Alaskan extraction shooter initially codenamed Project Maverick. Initially planned as a multiplayer expansion for Far Cry 7, internal reviews led Ubisoft to significantly alter the game's development. Despite positive employee and tester feedback, resource allocation shifted primarily to Project Blackbird (Far Cry 7), ultimately ending the multiplayer component when the technical team was reassigned.
Ubisoft Sherbrooke, a studio specializing in development support, now leads the project. Almost the entire original development team has transitioned to the next Far Cry installment.

Insider Tom Henderson (mid-December 2024) reports that Far Cry 7 will immerse players in a desperate, high-stakes environment where time is the ultimate enemy. The narrative centers on the protagonist's family, kidnapped by a mysterious cult performing horrific hallucinogen experiments on animals and children. Players must rescue their loved ones within a 72 in-game hour (24 real-time hour) deadline, making time management a critical gameplay element.
A prominent feature is an in-game wristwatch timer, constantly emphasizing the urgency and pressure. This mechanic enhances the intensity, forcing strategic, rapid decision-making. Far Cry 7 promises a unique experience where every second counts and choices have significant consequences.
