A new, ambitious open-world Far Cry game has entered development, according to a report from Insider Gaming. The project, currently codenamed Kodiak, is allegedly being produced alongside the next mainline entry in the series, which is internally referred to as Blackbird.
The report suggests that Kodiak has moved past its conceptualization phase. This development coincides with the reported cancellation of Maverick, a project previously widely identified as a multiplayer extraction shooter set within the Far Cry franchise. According to the report, the new Kodiak title is being built on the foundations left by the cancelled Maverick project.
Source Reliability
This information comes from a single source, Insider Gaming. As this is a report on internal development plans that have not been officially confirmed by Ubisoft, we have assigned this a 70/100 confidence rating. It remains unconfirmed whether Kodiak will be an expansion of the mainline series or a standalone experience.
What This Means for Players
While specific details remain scarce, the project is described as focusing on player-driven stories and interactions. Blackbird, widely considered to be the next mainline Far Cry 7, is reportedly the next title expected from the franchise, with Kodiak estimated to be several years away from release. For those following the franchise, this indicates a shift in focus back toward open-world experiences rather than the previously rumored extraction-based multiplayer model.
