A Far Cry 7 release date is almost undoubtedly in the works. It’s one of Ubisoft’s key franchises and a big seller. However, it’s not a yearly series, which makes predicting when the next one will come out a little more challenging. Nevertheless, here’s when we think the next Far Cry game will release and what platforms it’ll be on.
When will the Far Cry 7 release date be?
There’s no official release date for Far Cry 7 currently. Far Cry 6 was just released a few months ago, so we can assume that work on the next game is in its preliminary stages. If the series’ development pattern continues, we’ll likely see a spin-off game reusing assets from Far Cry 6 in either 2022 or 2023 and then Far Cry 7 in 2024-2025.
However, Ubisoft has stated that it plans to develop more free-to-play titles using its biggest franchises, so Far Cry 7 might not be the single-player procution we’re used to playing. Instead, it might be a battle royale, an arena shooter, or whatever else is popular at the time.
The Far Cry series is pretty creatively bankrupt at this point. So, Ubisoft could just call any game Far Cry 7. The only thing that links the series is that players take the role of a plucky underdog facing off against a cartoonish villain in a sandbox open-world. Maybe next time, players can have a shark riding on top of an RC car as one of their companions.
What platforms will it release on?
Those looking to get another fix of Far Cry have a bit of a wait. Far Cry 7 will likely be a current-gen only game if it comes out in 2024-2025. However, the inevitable spin-off game that will release before that might be a cross-gen title. If console supply issues continue to persist, that will likely be the case.
