[Tom Henderson] Gameplay Images and Information of Far Cry 7 Leak Online: Two projects - a mainline title and an extraction-based shooter

Images and information on Ubisoft's upcoming Far Cry 7 and a separate extraction shooter have leaked online, but dataminers seem to be confused about what exactly they've unearthed.

As reported by Insider Gaming in 2024, Far Cry 7 was originally under the development name 'Talisker', which was subsequently canceled, leading to the creation of two new Far Cry projects: Blackbird, its new mainline title, and Maverick, a new extraction-based shooter.

Some images were described by leakers as being from the Alaskan extraction shooter game, but, in my opinion, those images appear to be jungle-themed, with Maya pyramids found similar to those in the Mexican jungle, not Alaska. That's because these images originate from project Talisker's multiplayer mode, which was a team-based elimination-style mode, and is why giant billboards are scattered around the map. Concept art and early in-development images sent to Insider Gaming under the condition that they are not made public match the actual screenshots identically.

As seen in one screenshot we've embedded below, a giant rat seems to be pulling a dead player away because Talisker had animals experimented on in the story, which mutated. This story setting will still bleed into the main Far Cry 7 title, but as far as Maverick goes, you're likely to encounter more realistic animals such as wolves and bears.

That's, of course, if Maverick doesn't get canceled, which, at the time of writing, is a possibility. According to sources, the game has struggled to find an engaging gameplay loop, and with constant leadership changes and development issues, the project could be at risk of cancellation.

One image from the three does stand out from the rest, though: the Beckett family. As reported in the past, Far Cry 7 will have a 24 real-life hours timer (72 hours in-game) to rescue their family, who have all been kidnapped. It's not entirely clear how much this has changed (if at all), but at least at the time of writing, this somewhat controversial gameplay loop is still within the game.

As for who stars in the game, it's currently unclear, as Cillian Murphy was reported (and later debunked) at one point, but I have heard that Kevin Durand (The Strain, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, The Naked Gun) was in the running for the role.

Apparently, these images originate from an old Ubisoft Confluence build, and could be why the screenshots and information are somewhat blurry from the original leakers.

Played my first "far cry" game this year (far cry 6) it's amazing how good Giancarlo Esposito was as Anton the villain, Gus character and breaking bad wasn't that long ago, real intense, buttoned up. Not crazy about the cargo menus, I remember the areas being big, enemies relentless and story telling being well done. Yara was humming with goodness on Series x. I would definitely buy a far cry 7 but they need a big celebrity to take control again.

Great news. Sounds like we're still on track with the cool Majora's Mask-style time system.
 
Ngl, a time system sounds good. I'll likely never play this game, but having a built in timer will help a lot with the games inevitable ubibloat

So you're telling me you won't be hanging out with your friends collecting frogs, while your family is in peril?

Not a big fan of the time limiter. Let me play the game however I want and instead make the story interesting enough for me to care about the main missions. The forced missions system in Far Cry 5 was heavily criticised and this seems to be something similar, although not as bad.
