Far Cry 7

Change of the game concept

According to rumors the French company intends to change the concept of the series, which it has been the same since 2012 (from FC3), and which - as only moderately positive reception of AC: Origins.

1. Initially, rumors circulated on the internet suggested that the game was supposed to be a game focused on multiplayer gameplay.
2. After Drew Holmes took over the supervision of the brand, however, reports emerged regarding two productions - FC7 itself (its code name is apparently Project Blackbird) and the online spin-off of the series (Project Maverick).
3. Interestingly, both of these productions will allegedly be closely related to each other. They are to share, among others, the setting which will apparently turn out to be Alaska.

So it can be assumed that although the basis of Far Cry 7 will be similar to its predecessors - in the sense that Ubisoft will most likely remain faithful to the FPP perspective and a large map offering a lot of side activities - many elements characteristic of the series will be "reinvented". With this intention, it was apparently decided to seek inspiration from The Division series and use the Snowdrop engine, moving away from the oldschool Dunia technology (based on CryEngine).

Non-linear gameplay

The approach to the plot is also expected to change, which will be seemingly very non-linear.

1. We are supposedly coming to rescue the protagonist's family from the hands of a group known as the Sons of Truth.
2. Importantly, we will act under time pressure, achieving the set goals within 24 real hours (corresponding to 72 hours of the game's clock) and independently deciding the order in which we will save individual people.
3. The interrogation system will play an important role in Far Cry 7. Thanks to this mechanism, we will be able to find out where the abducted are being held. It is supposed to be quite complex - our opponents can allegedly resort to lies, try to escape or not want to let any words out regardless of our efforts.
4. Most likely, the interrogated people - and possibly the hostages - will be connected with the permanent death mechanics, which are supposedly present in FC 7 (along with the contract system).
