Far Cry 6 will no longer receive updates, Ubisoft confirms
videogameschronicle.comUbisoft has announced that Far Cry 6 will no longer receive updates.
A tweet posted on the official Far Cry Twitter account stated that the game’s online services would continue, but that there will be no further patches.
“Thanks to the millions of players who joined the fight,” the statement reads. “Your adventures can continue in Yara without interruption of online services. However, the dev team will no longer be making updates to Far Cry 6.
“We appreciate your passion, creativity and love of Chorizo, even Anton is proud.”
Press reports earlier this year claimed that Ubisoft is currently developing Far Cry 7 and a standalone Far Cry multiplayer game.
It’s claimed that Far Cry 7 is being made with Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine, rather than the Dunia engine used for recent series entries. The multiplayer game is currently an extraction-based shooter set in the Alaskan wilderness, it’s claimed.
Both titles are said to be tentatively scheduled for release in the fall/autumn of 2025.
