Ubisoft CEO Confirms Two Far Cry Games are in Development Alongside “Several” Single-Player and Multiplayer Assassin’s Creed Titles

Ubisoft chief executive officer Yves Guillemot has finally spoken outside of the company's financial earnings reports after kicking off 2026 by confirming a "major reset" that involved huge structural changes to Ubisoft and saw hundreds of developers get laid off, either through cuts at different branches or just full studio shutdowns.

In an interview with Variety, Guillemot didn't offer any meaningful comments in response to questions about the strikes across different studios within the company or provide any further comment as to why projects like Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake were canceled that we hadn't heard before. But he did at least provide an update as to what's happening with a couple of the company's major franchises.

In terms of the Far Cry series, Guillemot confirmed that two new games are in development, one of which we can likely assume to be Far Cry 7, while the other is likely to be Project Maverick, the multiplayer Far Cry game we first heard about more than three years ago.

The other series Guillemot provided a bit of an update on is, unsurprisingly, Assassin's Creed. Guillemot confirmed there are "several" Assassin's Creed titles in the works, which isn't exactly news, but he did add that the projects include both single-player and multiplayer games.

"We have a solid pipeline underway across Vantage Studios. Under the 'Assassin's Creed' brand, several titles are in development, spanning both single-player and multiplayer experiences, with the ambition to further grow a community that exceeded 30 million players last year," Guillemot said. "On 'Far Cry,' anticipation is high, and we currently have two very promising projects in development."

Elsewhere in the interview, in relation to what both franchises are doing outside of video games, Guillemot gave a shout-out to the upcoming Far Cry TV series coming from FX and confirmed that the Watch Dogs film has completed production. He also shared his excitement about the upcoming Assassin's Creed Netflix TV series and the Splinter Cell Deathwatch series getting renewed for a second season.

Overall, if you were hoping for a candid explanation as to what has happened with the company over the last few years, and what Guillemot and the rest of its top brass are doing to turn things around for the better, to say you'll be left wanting is an understatement.

Especially when it comes to Guillemot's response to questions about nepotism with regard to installing his son, Charlie Guillemot, as one of the two co-leaders of Vantage Studios.

"Ubisoft was created as a family company, and our strong heritage helps us take a long-term view, prioritizing sustainable growth, creative ambition, and continuity over short-term cycles. This perspective guides our decisions and helps us build franchises, teams, and strategies that endure for decades," Guillemot said.

"I strongly believe that Christophe Derennes and Charlie are the right leaders as co-CEOs of Vantage Studios. They bring complementary strengths and experience that make them well-suited for the role. Their appointment was based on their skills, track record, and fit for the role."

As a reminder, Derennes steps into the role after previously leading Ubisoft's North American studios under the company's old structure. Charlie Guillemot's track record, however, includes being given a studio head position at Ubisoft right out of college, with the sole game that studio put out getting canceled after one year and a major controversy. It also includes leaving Ubisoft to start an NFT-focused company, and one other role within Ubisoft before being given the keys to its biggest franchises.
