- Steve Buscemi joins the Far Cry TV series cast and now we're all wondering: will he be a weird, helpful NPC, or a weirdly charismatic villain? - 14 July 2026
Have you ever thought to yourself, I bet Steve Buscemi would make a good Far Cry villain? I think he would. He's charismatic, superficially good-natured, kind of odd looking, extremely high-strung, and prone to sudden, sometimes random outbursts of extreme violence. And I'm not the only one who thinks so—the people making the live-action Far Cry series for FX do, too... Read more.
- Ubisoft promises new Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Ghost Recon games are coming, but says this year will be 'quieter' than most - 14 July 2026
Have you noticed that things have been kind of quiet on the Ubisoft front lately? Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is doing quite well, but what else has it done for us lately? Where's the new Far Cry? What's going on with Ghost Recon, The Division, Prince of Persia? Where is my Splinter Cell? .. Read more.
- Far Cry TV series showrunner says he's 'not specifically adapting any of the games,' and the creative director of Far Cry 4 doesn't care for that very much - 27 April 2026
Noah Hawley, the executive producer of the live action Far Cry series revealed (and then quickly unrevealed, but too late ) last year, says he was attracted to the series because it's an "anthology" that tells a different story, with different setting, characters, and motivations, with every new game. And precisely none of those games will be featured in the series, because Hawley has other ideas... Read more.
- Far Cry's getting a TV series starring It's Always Sunny's Rob Mac, with each season designed to mirror a new game - 25 November 2025
Far Cry is set to be turned into a live-action TV series on FX, something Ubisoft reportedly let slip back in August, but has now been formally announced by the publisher in a post that's yet to be randomly zapped into the ether. Read more

- Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot plans to push multiplayer in future Far Cry games - 11 September 2025
When you think of Far Cry , you don't necessarily think multiplayer. You might think bombastic set pieces or awe-inspiring global adventures. That's not to say the series hasn't flirted with it before - Far Cry 5 and 6 both had online co-op campaigns, and some games even had PvP modes, although I don't know anyone who played them and this was scrapped for the latest entry. Despite the fact that the series is known for its thrilling campaigns, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has said that the company will push the multiplayer aspects of future games to the fore.

- Ubisoft announces a live-action Far Cry TV series then immediately pretends it didn't announce a live-action Far Cry TV series - 11 August 2025
Ubisoft is no stranger to its videogame news leaking ahead of time, but this is the first time I can remember one of its TV shows leaking early. And the leak is coming from inside the house: an article about a new television project appeared on Ubisoft's own news site over the weekend but was then quickly removed... Read more.
- After leaving Ubisoft to launch an anime avatar AI/NFT startup, Yves Guillemot's son returns to take charge of its new Tencent-backed Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow 6 subsidiary - 16 July 2025
When Ubisoft and Tencent announced the creation of a new company that will take control of Ubi's Big Three—Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six—the obvious question, for me at least, was, who's really going to be in charge here? Ubisoft has the games, yes, but Tencent has the money. Today we got our answer, and it turns out that it's not the games that really matter, but the name —and that name is Guillemot... Read more.

- Far Cry extraction FPS reportedly rebooted as Ubisoft doubles down on Far Cry 7 - 4 March 2025
While they rarely push the boundaries of game design or clean up at award ceremonies, Far Cry is a series I always find myself gravitating towards. The hunting, the ridiculous weapons, and the iconic villains manage to provide a reliably enjoyable experience, despite its bloated open-world format. It's also reliable as a money-maker for Ubisoft, so naturally Far Cry 7 is going to be high on its list of priorities. According to a new report, Ubi has apparently upped its head count and budget for Far Cry 7, but in doing so it has rebooted a standalone Far Cry extraction shooter. Read the rest of the story...

- Far Cry fans hope surprise source code leak will give 'new breath' to an old game - 4 July 2023
It's hard to overstate how good the original Far Cry was. And influential, too: It's the game that put developer Crytek on the map and spawned one of Ubisoft's biggest and best-known series. But it's also 19 years old, a veritable eon in videogame terms, and that passage of time can definitely be seen and felt: It's long overdue for a glow-up... Read more.

Far Cry 2 is one of those games that, even thirteen years later, remains a touchstone for a certain kind of FPS design .

- The history of trees in PC gaming - 16 May 2018
You can chart the progress of PC gaming in many ways: the force of a shotgun; the substance of dialogue; the scale of an RTS.  But behind all the obvious stuff, wafting leafily the background, is the humble tree. And trees are important. They tell us more about the inexorable march of progress than gunfeel ever could. Firstly, because they illustrate the lengths developers will go to immerse us in a game by adding extraneous detail we might ignore. And secondly, because ‘gunfeel’ isn’t even a word.  Join me, then—a digital lumberjack, armed only with a Collins Gem copy of All You Need To Know About Trees and 11 synonyms for wood—as we learn to tell frond from bough in the history of trees in games.

- The Far Cry games ranked from worst to best - 11 August 2017
Ranking the games in the Far Cry series isn't an especially easy task given that for the most part it's been a widely varied collection of shooters: Far Cry 1, 2, and 3 were all distinctly different from one another, and while Far Cry 4, Far Cry 5, and Blood Dragon were quite similar to Far Cry 3, Primal threw us a curve and plopped us in the Stone Age. Another issue with ranking them: the Far Cry games are all pretty good! There are no stinkers in the series, meaning there's no one to really dump on. This makes things harder. But just because something isn't easy doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. Below we've cobbled together a highly-unscientific ranking of the Far Cry series (sans Instincts, which only appeared on console). As with all of our rankings, this list is iron-clad and inarguable, so we expect nothing but collective head-nods of sycophanti…
- Ubisoft reveals first Far Cry 5 art and it's a doozie - 24 May 2017
The official Far Cry 5 reveal is still a couple days out, but Ubisoft today released the first full-on promotional image for the game, and it is—to put it mildly—provocative.  The image depicts a group of heavily-armed, heavily-bearded men, plus one woman and a wolf, positioned in a very Last Supper-like pose around a table festooned with a slightly-modified US flag—crosses instead of stars—and with a vaguely menacing messiah figure at the center. There are guns and ammo all around, of course, and a badly-beaten man sitting in front, his hands bound and the word "Sinner" scrawled across his back.    Bringing the series to America in what appears to be a very believable context of religious extremism and right-wing survivalists is a bold move. Previous Far Cry games have been set in remote locales crawling with fictional villains (and even mutan…
