Far Cry Remastered: Enhanced Edition – Now in 60fps!

Ubisoft Announces Updates for Far Cry Games

Ubisoft recently revealed that three classic Far Cry games, namely Far Cry 3, Far Cry Blood Dragon, and Far Cry Primal, will be receiving updates to run at 60 frames per second. The announcement was made in a unique way through pictograms, adding an element of surprise to the news.

While specific details regarding the release date and supported platforms for the updates are still pending, fans of the franchise can look forward to experiencing these beloved titles in a smoother and more immersive gameplay experience.

Ubisoft’s playful use of a cat purring emoji in the announcement further showcases the company’s creativity and engagement with its audience.

Notably, Far Cry 5 received a 60fps update back in 2023, and the latest installment, Far Cry 6, launched with a dedicated 60fps mode, catering to players’ demand for smoother gameplay experiences.

In 2023, rumors circulated about Far Cry 7 potentially being split into two separate games: Project Blackbird, serving as the core Far Cry 7 experience, and Project Maverick, a standalone multiplayer title that could be connected to the main series.

Ubisoft’s strategic shift towards creating massive multiplayer live service games aligns with the rumored development of a multiplayer-focused Far Cry title. Sources suggest that the upcoming game will utilize the Frostbite engine instead of the aging Dunia engine, streamlining Ubisoft’s game development processes and reducing maintenance costs.

Far Cry 7 is rumored to be set in the “Alaskan wilderness” and described as an extraction-based shooter with innovative gameplay mechanics such as permadeath, a backpack system, and contract missions, promising a fresh and engaging experience for players.

During a presentation at the New Global Sport Conference in September 2025, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot emphasized the company’s focus on enhancing the multiplayer aspects of Far Cry 7, aiming to create a game that can be enjoyed over an extended period, aligning with the trend of long-term player engagement in modern gaming.

Furthermore, Far Cry, along with Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six, has been consolidated into a new subsidiary within Ubisoft, bringing together development teams from Montréal, Quebec, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Barcelona, and Sofia. This strategic move consolidates the management of these popular franchises, ensuring a cohesive approach to both existing titles and future projects.
