Back when the era of open-world FPS was just kicking off during the early-to-mid-2000s, Ubisoft’sFar Cryhad a huge role to play. The game series’ exotic locations and FPS gameplay smashed records at launch, announcing to the world that publisher and developer Ubisoft had arrived in the FPS space.
To date, the game series has had six mainline titles apart from multiple spin-offs over the span of two decades. For a long time now,Far Cryhas set the bar high for AAA open-world action titles.
Far Cry 2is the inspiration behindFar Cry 7
According to areport from Insider Gaming,Far Cry 7will feature a big change in terms of the inclusion of an in-game timer. This kind of shift in structure would mark the game’s venture in a drastically different direction. The series’ previous games were more free-form and bombastic, while the new one is said to lean more into some ofFar Cry 2‘s realism and designs.
This could possibly mean that Ubisoft is also considering incorporating other former features into the upcoming title. This could includeFar Cry 2‘s weapon or item behavior, instead ofFar Cry 6‘s backpack abilities. Besides, it is also possible thatFar Cry 7will have warring groups of players that can interact with this rumored timer, in case it draws too much inspiration fromFar Cry 2.
Additionally, it has also been reported thatFar Cry 7could potentially feature an entire cult of foes on a tropical island. This indicates somewhat atFar Cry 3‘s setting mixed withFar Cry 5‘s setup.
Developer Ubisoft could also be considering bouncing back to some design inspiration behindFar Cry 2in confluence with some twists. If this is exactly what Ubisoft is aiming at, it could be a little risky in terms of potentially restricting some prior aspects.
