Farthest Cry 7 will reportedly have an "online-orientating approach" as Ubisoft looks to reinvent the series.

In the latest Axios gaming newsletter, newsperson Stephen Totilo suggests that while Far Battle cry 6 power perform well, developer Ubisoft "appears to know a shake-up is needed." Totilo states that his sources claim "the company was exploring a more online-oriented glide slope for a subsequence."

That tracks with information earlier this year, in which Bloomberg's Jason Schreier claimed that Far Cry 7 could go in "a radically different direction," fetching the entire series to a new put away.

While neither Totilo nor Schreier revealed much about the new direction that the series could go in, it's certainly possible that Ubisoft is looking to reinvent Far Cry. The series hasn't changed untold since Far Cry 3 in 2012, even with themed spin-offs like Primal and Blood Dragon. In that same period, however, Ubisoft rebooted the entire Bravo's Creed franchise, protrusive with 2017's Origins, but Totilo points out that other franchises, like Lear Dogs and Ghost Recon, have yet to receive similar overhauls.

In recent months, the company has seen a significant leading modernize which could bring major changes to one of its oldest series. After the departure of former Chief Creative Director Serge Hascoet and a number of other executives amid reports of workplace abuse, veteran Ubisoft developer Igor Manceau was promoted into the role last calendar month.

GamesRadar+'s ALIR Cry 6 review said that the game "delivers more volatile action and jeopardize than ever ahead," merely noted that it "fumbles some of its more displeasing diagram points." Reported to Metacritic, the game's review scores sit between 75-80, descending a decent way along the mid-to-high 80s that previous entries have garnered, with some reviewers that the game doesn't make out enough to push the series forward.
