Ubisoft has broken the silence and confirmed the development of Far Cry 7, according to a report published on foro3d.com. The news comes five years after the release of Far Cry 6, marking the longest period between main entries in the series. This announcement has divided fans, who debate between excitement for the new installment and concern over a wait that could stretch to seven or eight years.
Dunia Engine: the skeleton bearing the weight of the wait 🎮
The development of Far Cry 7 will use an updated version of the Dunia engine, which has been the technical foundation of the series since its inception. Although Ubisoft has not detailed the improvements, optimizations in dynamic lighting and enemy artificial intelligence are expected. Analysts point out that the five-year cycle suggests a deep revision of the open-world system, possibly to integrate more polished stealth mechanics and a narrative with more branching paths. The technical community views these changes with skepticism, questioning whether they will justify such a long wait.
Waiting for Vaas: the meme that never ages 😂
While Ubisoft fine-tunes the details, the community has already dubbed Far Cry 7 as the new Half-Life 3 of open-world shooters. Memes about whether the protagonist will once again be an unwilling hero in a striped shirt are flooding the forums. The only sure thing is that, when it comes out, many will still be wondering why the antagonist can't be a charismatic parrot instead of another generic dictator. Good thing the parachute remains the star of the inventory.
