The extraction shooter set in the Far Cry universe, which was initially planned to take place in Alaska, has undergone a complete reboot, according to a report by Insider Gaming. Originally codenamed Project Maverick, the game was first envisioned as a multiplayer expansion for Far Cry 7. However, after an internal review, the project saw significant changes. Despite receiving positive feedback from employees and testers, Ubisoft's management decided to shift most of the resources to Project Blackbird, which is Far Cry 7. The final decision to abandon the multiplayer component came with the reassignment of the technical team to other projects.
The responsibility for the rebooted project has now been transferred to Ubisoft Sherbrooke, a studio known for its expertise in development support. Almost the entire original development team has been reassigned to work on the next installment of the Far Cry series.

According to insider Tom Henderson (as of mid-December 2024), Far Cry 7 is set to immerse players in an atmosphere filled with tension and desperation, where time becomes the main adversary. The game's narrative will center around the protagonist's family being kidnapped by a mysterious conspiracy cult that conducts terrifying experiments with hallucinogens on animals and children. Players will be tasked with rescuing their loved ones within a tight time frame of 72 in-game hours, which translates to 24 real-time hours. This time constraint will be a pivotal gameplay element, intensifying the urgency and pressure of the game.
A unique feature of Far Cry 7 will be a timer displayed on the protagonist's wristwatch, serving as a constant reminder of the ticking clock. This mechanic will not only increase the sense of urgency but also add pressure, compelling players to make swift and strategic decisions. Far Cry 7 aims to offer a distinctive gaming experience where every second is crucial, and every decision can lead to significant consequences.
