Ubisoft is quietly working on a second Far Cry game, a multiplayer shooter not unlike Far Cry 7, but a map-escape based multiplayer shooter (a la Escape From Tarkov or Hunt: Showdown). Known as Project Maverick, this project is being developed separately from Far Cry 7, which was originally conceived under the code name Talisker.
Ubisoft is turning the Far Cry franchise into a whole new game!
According to an exclusive report from Insider Gaming, Project Maverick has undergone a scope change during development, ultimately evolving into a map-escape shooter set in the fictional Alaskan terrain of Alashnica.
The game’s narrative revolves around enticing players with the promise of freedom, only to drop them in the middle of a chaotic landscape where trust is a rare virtue.
According to claims abroad, Elon Musk attacked Tesla Cybertruck pickup trucks, which have not even been released yet. Here are the details...
In Project Maverick, players have to scavenge the environment to find the necessary materials to survive in typical Far Cry fashion. This includes hunting animals for leather, sourcing chemicals for tools, gathering plants for medicinal supplies, and obtaining weapon components and casings for ammunition.
A key feature is the Hideout, which serves as both an operational base and a secure repository for acquired gear, vehicles and more. While the game offers a solo experience, it also allows for team play, allowing teammates to share the same Hideout and loot.
The gameplay loop revolves around acquiring gear, leveling up and gaining perks directly tied to the leveling system. Players must complete in-game contracts (challenges) and earn perks to progress.
Maverick also features a high-risk dynamic with permadeath in the game, meaning that when players die they lose all progress, including gear, perks and levels. The only items you’re left with when you die are the items you left in the Hideout.

While release timelines in the gaming industry are subject to potential delays, Insider Gaming notes that Maverick is scheduled to launch before Far Cry 7, potentially in April 2025, with an Alpha phase envisioned for the first half of 2024.
Given Ubisoft’s past scheduling habits, more information about Maverick could be revealed soon. Share your thoughts on the Far Cry multiplayer game in the comments below.
