Rumor: Ubisoft Has Restarted Development of Project Maverick

Author : Aiden Mar 17,2025

A report from Insider Gaming reveals a complete reboot for the Alaskan extraction shooter initially codenamed Project Maverick within the Far Cry universe. Initially planned as a multiplayer expansion for Far Cry 7, internal reviews led Ubisoft to significantly alter the project's direction. Despite positive employee and tester feedback, resource allocation shifted primarily to Project Blackbird (Far Cry 7), ultimately resulting in the cancellation of the multiplayer component due to the technical team's reassignment.

Ubisoft Sherbrooke, a studio specializing in development support, now oversees the project. Most of the original development team has transitioned to the next Far Cry installment.

According to insider Tom Henderson (mid-December 2024), Far Cry 7 plunges players into a desperate, tension-filled world where time is the ultimate enemy. The narrative centers on the protagonist's family, kidnapped by a mysterious cult conducting horrific hallucinogen experiments on animals and children. Players face a 72 in-game hour (24 real-time hour) deadline to rescue their loved ones, making time management a critical gameplay element.

A prominent feature is a wristwatch timer, constantly reminding players of the dwindling time. This intensifies the pressure, demanding swift, strategic decision-making. Far Cry 7 promises a unique experience where every second and choice carries significant weight.
