Ubisoft has reportedly ended development on Maverick, the long-discussed Far Cry project that was said to be built around the extraction shooter format. The update comes from insider reporting cited in the latest coverage of the franchise, suggesting the company has changed course on one of its rumored Far Cry experiments.
While Maverick is said to be canceled, the report also points to a different Far Cry spin-off now moving forward. That new project has been described as "really ambitious," indicating Ubisoft may still be investing in a major new direction for the series even as it drops the earlier concept.
The shift suggests Ubisoft is reassessing how it wants to expand Far Cry beyond its core formula. An extraction-based entry would have marked a notable change for the brand, so its reported cancellation may reflect a broader rethink about the franchise's next step.
For now, many details remain unclear, including what the new spin-off will look like and how far along it is in development. Still, the latest report signals that Far Cry remains active behind the scenes, with Ubisoft apparently replacing one rumored project with another more expansive idea.
