Sometimes I don't know what I want until I know what I don't. It's been six years since Far Cry 6 dropped us off on the island of Yara, five of which I've spent wondering how developer Ubisoft might one-up on its greatest hit (cough: that's Far Cry 5) with Far Cry 7 in development as of 2021.
But I'm not here to argue about the best Far Cry games, despite how correct I am. I wish I had more positivity to share, but from Ubisoft's alleged use of generative AI to the harsh real-world time limits spoken of in various rumored "leaks", I have to be blunt about one of my favorite FPS series: the future of Far Cry sounds impossibly bleak.
