Blyth will star opposite Talk to Me fame Sophie Wilde.

The film adaptation comes after years of being in development hell. Rumors of a film adaptation began in 2013, and it went into development in 2014. Interestingly, the positive update on the film comes at a time when fans largely believe that Ubisoft is done with the franchise.

XDefiant has solved the first connectivity issues, making players able to play without having to wait anymore. Since its release five days ago, Ubisoft’s new free-to-play game has attracted a decent number of active players.
One of the game’s executive producers, Mark Rubin, has criticized some players for using their ultimate abilities to disrupt the match’s balance. Rubin has worked with games like Call of Duty in the past, so he knows about these kinds of issues in matches, but Ubisoft will have to see how to nerf or boost certain skills.
XDefiant Needs Some Adjustments, According to the Executive Producer XDefiant executive producer Mark Rubin is upset about how players are annoying with certain abilities.
After many years in development and being announced in 2021, XDefiant has finally been released. The free-to-play Fps title will compete with Call of Duty, with the same kind of fast-phased gameplay and certain similar mechanics.

Ubisoft’s XDefiant just launched on May 21st to a mostly positive reception from fans and critics. They have praised its map design and its variety, as well as the gameplay and various modes. One big selling point for the game was that it was seemingly an alternative to Call of Duty. Especially with this game’s lack of skill-based matchmaking (Sbmm), which makes for a more varied and fun experience.
Call of Duty has notoriously doubled down on Sbmm in the past few years, with a lot of players wanting it to be removed from the casual playlists as it leads to more difficult and less varied matches.
Some Players Have Been Complaining About XDefiant’s Lack of Sbmm
A small minority of the players are not a fan of the lack of Sbmm in XDefiant.
Players have taken to X and other platforms to talk about their experience in the game.

Ubisoft’s new free-to-play first-person shooter, XDefiant, just released on the 21st of May for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This casual free-to-play shooter brings together locations and factions from various Ubisoft franchises, such as Tom Clancy, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, and more.
Players can choose from five factions at launch, with more coming in via different seasons later on. These factions currently include Libertad from Far Cry, Echelon from Splinter Cell, Phantoms from Ghost Recon, DedSec from Watch Dogs, and Cleaners from The Division.
XDefiant Doesn’t Have a Platinum Trophy for PS5
XDefiant has more than a few things in common with classic Call of Duty games.
One major disappointment for PlayStation 5 users has been that XDefiant will not feature a Platinum trophy. Most PS5 games include this achievement, which is a reward for getting all the other trophies in the game, but XDefiant lacks in this department.

In the last few weeks, we’ve witnessed Microsoft taking drastic measures and shutting down Hi-Rush studio Tango Gameworks, Redfall creator Arakne, and the two other studios. The tech giant believes that Xbox as a brand needs “small games” to garner its old prestige and get ahead of the competition. With the shutting down of such major studios, we thought we’d see further layoffs and reorganization of studios under Microsoft.
However, in a shocking move, Xbox and Activision have announced a new studio called Elsewhere Entertainment. While the brand-new studio features industry vets who’ve worked on successful games such as The Witcher and The Last of Us, many people in the community can’t believe Microsoft is closing well-established studios to open new ones.

Ubisoft, the renowned video game publisher, has a long history of creating blockbuster titles. Among their successful franchises, the Far Cry series stands out as a fan favourite. However, behind the scenes, there’s a fascinating story involving one of the game directors and an offer he couldn’t refuse.
The offer was made to Patrick Plourde, who was at the time, the creative force behind many Ubisoft titles like Assassin’s Creed 2, Watch Dogs 2, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, and Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood.

It was once understandable when gamers didn’t get what they saw on CD covers of video games. But developers weren’t developing games using Unreal Engine 5 like they are now. Unlike the old times, they can now share the kind of graphics that they can deliver in the game.
Now, gamers don’t judge games based on CD covers. They do it via the trailers they see on the internet. With the industry having advanced today, they believe they’ll get the same product as presented on the screen. That’s a big misunderstanding.
Back in the day, users at least knew that they wouldn’t see the kind of dinosaurs and lush jungles in the game as presented on a Dino Crisis poster. It didn’t hurt when the players saw pixelated environments when they finally played the game, but that’s not the case with the latest generation of games.

The Far Cry series was built off the back of its unforgettable villains, and although it has stumbled on that front with recent entries, its last entry, 2021’s Far Cry 6 changed things up in the villain department in a major way.
For the sixth game, the series broke new ground by casting Giancarlo Esposito, as the game’s central antagonist, Anton Castillo. However, according to narrative director Navid Khavari, the team knew that Anton had to be a person of color before Esposito was even cast.

The Far Cry series is one of the longest-running Ubisoft franchises to date. These games have been very popular owing to their vast open-world and exotic locations.

Ubisoft has had its ups and downs with the Far Cry franchise over the years, with a few games outperforming the others, and some that players even avoid talking about. One particular title that has received mixed feelings from players over the years is Far Cry 2, a game that Clint Hocking might have had a different vision for before it was finally released.
Clint Hocking had a different vision for the game before it came out
For those who do not know, Hocking was also responsible for the development of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell series, which primarily focused on stealth-based missions and just might have been where the director got his experience with the said play style.
What Did Clint Hocking Envision For Ubisoft’s Far Cry 2
Unlike Splinter Cell, the level design in Far Cry 2 does not support pure silent takedowns as the enemies ultimately have better awareness.

Far Cry 2 is considered to be a cult hit nowadays. While most gamers might not care for it as much, fans of simulation games with a lot of exploration do not mind spending hours exploring the world of Far Cry 2. The game was a decent success too; its last recorded sales number was 2.9 million. And Ubisoft considered it a decent hit.
Besides featuring a very rough location that tested gamers at every step, this game also did away with a bunch of other shooter conventions. It did not have a mini-map, which had become the norm in open-world games back then. One can say that Far Cry 2 was without a doubt a unique game that deserved all the success it got. Given how its director thought back then, it makes sense they made such a game.

Halo Infinite is the first open-world game in the series, and its development cycle reflects that. Taking 6 years to develop on 343’s brand-new Slipspace engine, Infinite ended up releasing in 2021, after a year-long delay from its initial planned release.
Going the open-world route was a big point of debate for the return of Master Chief, as well as Infinite‘s unconventional direction as a “spiritual reboot” built on a smaller scale compared to other open-world titles. However, here’s why that might have been the very element that saved the franchise.

Right now, Far Cry is currently one of Ubisoft’s longest-running franchises and is still getting new games every couple of years. Ubisoft tries to rediscover it; they try to give gamers a world that is worth exploring and characters worth interacting with. This legacy of having interesting characters, specifically an interesting villain, came from Far Cry 2.
Back then, it was the pinnacle of what was possible if developers invested time in some exciting new technologies. Dunia Engine was a one-of-a-kind game engine; Jackal was a one-of-a-kind villain; and that game’s world was unlike anything players had explored before. But its director explains that the inspiration for that came from a very unexpected place.

Watch Dogs: Legion was no doubt a very ambitious video game in itself. The idea that it sold to all the fans of the franchise was pretty simple yet unique; players could control numerous characters rather than just one protagonist. Thanks to its perma-death mechanic, no character in this game lived forever, and anyone walking the streets as an Npc had the potential to be the next hero.
Yet, the game faced mixed responses from critics as well as longtime fans of this short-lived franchise. Watch Dogs: Legion could not reach the heights of success it set out for. There were a bunch of reasons for this failure. Fans did not care for the feature Ubisoft was selling so hard.

Video games are evolving at a rapid rate. Changing from linear experiences to dynamic ones, thanks to games like Helldivers 2. Other things that have been increasingly implemented in video games are the moral implications that shape gameplay. Some suggest Ubisoft would bring something similar to Far Cry 7, changing the franchise for the better.
They had a chance of doing it years ago with Rainbow Six: Patriots, but that was scrapped in favor of Siege. Afterward, they tried implementing this in a number of their games, but in a very small way. There were some choices in Assassin’s Creed games; even Far Cry games had those, but they did not change the output drastically. But now things would supposedly be a bit different. One must say that if they have decided to bring this change to Far Cry 7, they can also bring an incredible new feature from Rise of the Ronin.

Following Ubisoft’s announcement of Watch Dogs, the game was one of the most-anticipated titles of 2014. The first game was off to a good start and sold over 10 million units by the end of 2014. However, the sequel failed to meet the expectations of Ubisoft.
A still from Watch Dogs
Watch Dogs 2 took nearly four years to sell as many units as its predecessor. Therefore, Ubisoft tried to reignite the players’ interest with a third game. The third game, Watch Dogs Legion, came out in 2020. It introduced a unique play-as-anyone feature, however, the game failed to impress the fans.
Ubisoft may shut down the Watch Dogs series
While some fans may be waiting to see a new game in the series, a renowned Ubisoft leaker claimed that the series has been canceled. Taking to X, leaker j0nathan added that due to the game’s disappointing commercial run, Ubisoft has canceled...

Far Cry is a popular video game series that, like more and more these days, sometimes opts for inviting real actors to play its characters. After Cyberpunk 2077 proved the concept with Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba once again, no one was surprised at the recent rumor that Cillian Murphy would portray the main villain in Far Cry 7, and this “news” flooded the Internet like there was no tomorrow.
Where did this “leak” come from and how was it debunked?
Far Cry 7 x Cillian Murphy: Rumor Origin
On April 20, famous French-speaking YouTuber and streamer j0nathan posted a peculiar sharade on his X (formerly Twitter) account. The post contained four images — Cillian Murphy, a bomb with a 72-hour timer, a giant crab, and number 7 with a tropical backdrop — and was titled, “If nothing changes between now and then.”
This post started a massive wave of speculations — or, rather, just one speculation.

With news surrounding Far Cry 7 starting to finally be unveiled, the time that Ubisoft has properly stepped up may be upon us. Just recently, a credible leaker revealed who the next villain of the series may be played by, and if this turns out to be true, Vaas Montenegro will have some serious competition.
Ubisoft has been having a pretty great run lately, especially with the recently released Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Along with that, Assassin’s Creed Mirage was also a success, so it’s safe to say the company is heading in a better direction overall. Regardless, it seems like the next villain in the company’s long-running first-person shooter franchise is going to be a game changer.

After one of 2023’s biggest blockbuster films, Cillian Murphy may just be starring in one of gaming’s future hits.

Although the last installment in the series didn’t receive the greatest reviews, Far Cry 7 is still a title that has the potential to turn things around for the franchise. The series has been one of the developer’s signature franchises, enjoying highs with its third installment and mixed lows with its more recent entries. But Far Cry has a history of having memorable villains, and their impact becomes even stronger when they are portrayed by familiar Hollywood actors.
It seems like in Far Cry 7, the Hollywood A-lister, who recently won an Oscar for his portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer in the Christopher Nolan-directed film, will be following in the footsteps of Giancarlo Esposito and Michael Mando.

Far Cry 7 is one of the most sought-after releases, but the doubt lies in how high the odds are for it to materialize. Despite being little known to many, the inception of the Far Cry series can be traced back to 2004, when Crytek, a German game developer, launched the first installment. The company was founded by the Yerli brothers: Cevat, Avni, and Faruk. However, after the initial Far Cry game, Crytek ventured into other areas of game development. They also experienced bankruptcy in 2016. While they might not be as prolific as they once were, they are still

Ubisoft’s biggest franchises, like Prince of Persia, Assassin’s Creed, and Far Cry, are usually victims of leaks well before the company plans to announce their existence. While some feel it’s done by Ubisoft, the fact remains that its games are very poorly hidden.
The same can be said for the newly revealed title, The Rogue Prince of Persia. We got a new trailer for the title, including some gameplay, but people have been aware of its existence for quite a bit. The trailer is eye-catching, but there is one criticism already for the game.

Ubisoft has been one of the most popular video game publishers in the world for a long time now, thanks to its franchises like Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, For Honor, Just Dance, Prince of Persia, Rabbids, Rayman, Tom Clancy’s, and Watch Dogs.

Star Wars Outlaws
They have continued the tradition by pricing their upcoming game Star Wars Outlaws at outrageous figures. The official story trailer was dropped recently and the game is now available for pre-ordering. Ubisoft’s evil strategy has been criticized for many years and now, gamers have united to expose them.

Over the past few years, the number of games focusing on co-op multiplayer format has considerably increased. The growing popularity of multiplayer could somewhere be credited to the way recent games like Helldivers 2 and Diablo 4 have presented the format.
Far Cry 7
Naturally, a lot of upcoming games will look to adopt this formula and attract a greater audience, including the anticipated Far Cry game. Speaking of the Far Cry franchise at large, co-op is not alien to the series. In fact, it has been regularly featured in multiple games. However, there is a high chance that developer Ubisoft could expand even further on the multiplayer element in the upcoming Far Cry 7 game.
Far Cry 7 to have a rumored Countdown Timer
One of the most buzzing rumors about Far Cry 7 is the inclusion of a 72-hour in-game countdown timer. This timer is believed to bring more ramifications to multiplayer gameplay as compared to single-player.

Developers are doing what they can to bring the charm that Call of Duty once had back with the upcoming Black Ops Gulf War. Since the introduction of Modern Warfare 3, there have been certain ups and downs, mostly downs, that they need to repair in the first place. Warzone Mobile was supposed to wash off those pillars that seem to have become rusty recently too, but it failed upon launch.
Now there is a chance with Gulf War to do something that is again able to captivate the fans like the previous games did. Many leaks associated with the game have provided details as to what to expect. The latest leak might have shed light on a new feature that could be coming to the latest CoD.

Far Cry 7 has a tentative release window of fall 2025 and fans and players are hoping that the game takes care of some of the repetitive issues of the franchise. The open-world games produced by Ubisoft have a couple of things in common – they boast of huge and explorable open worlds and the Npc interactions are repetitive which do away with player immersion in the game.
However, with the launch of its new AI tool, Ubisoft may finally be en route to putting those issues behind them. The new AI tool by Ubisoft’s R&d department La Forge, Ghostwriter, is capable of helping scriptwriters with the immersion mechanism.
The AI-generated ‘neo-NPCs’ might just be the answer to making Far Cry 7 a totally immersive and lived-in experience for all gamers.

One telltale sign of the Far Cry franchise has been its repetitive Npc interactions.

Far Cry 7, the next entry in the Far Cry series, has to escape the rut the franchise has found itself in. Some entries, like Far Cry 3, have left an undeniable mark on the industry, but recent titles haven’t quite captured its magic.

Far Cry is now a franchise that has seen twenty years of life. The first game in the series “Far Cry” was launched back in March 2004. Over the years, it has evolved from being a vibrant open-world shooter with stealth elements to games set in expansive open worlds with some light role-playing mechanics at its core.
While this series has largely remained unchanged over the years, it has still gathered a large enough fan following to justify six mainline installments and a bunch of spin-offs too. And almost all of these games have been successful. Now that this series is celebrating 20 years of its inception, Ubisoft and Sony have partnered to give their fans something very special.

Ubisoft’s free-roam sci-fi action-adventure game series Watch Dogs has received mixed reviews from critics and players alike. The game did have an interesting premise, but some felt it didn’t break out of the Ubisoft open-world formula enough to stand out among other games like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry.
It seems the potential of the series has been noticed by people outside of the gaming community as well. It’s common for popular franchises to get adapted into other media, and the same is happening with a live-action movie for Watch Dogs. But is Ubisoft taking on more than it can handle?

Ubisoft’s Far Cry franchise has carved a dominant niche for itself in the open-world Fps genre. The compelling villains and expansive world design made it popular, and while the early 2004 titles established the core gameplay loop, it was 2012’s Far Cry 3 that truly catapulted the series into the limelight.
This game wasn’t just about refined shooting mechanics. Its captivating story was what made it memorable. However, a substantial chunk of the credit for Far Cry 3‘s success undoubtedly belongs to Vaas Montenegro, the unforgettable villain masterfully portrayed by Michael Mando. Here’s why the upcoming Far Cry 7 should take a page out of his book.

Vaas’ impact transcends the confines of Far Cry 3. He’s not only the best villain in the series, but a venerable all-timer in the gaming hall of fame.

The Far Cry series’ ticket to popularity was its captivating (and sometimes unstable) villains. Among them, fans widely regard Vaas Montenegro from Far Cry 3 and Pagan Min from Far Cry 4 as two of the best in the franchise.
While both villains undoubtedly make a lasting impact, they approach their roles very differently, leading to heated debate among fans to try and determine which of them is better. Deciding that is no easy task, but we reckoned it was worth a shot.

Ubisoft seems to have fallen into the habit of repeating the same thing over and over, just like the villain of their own game, Far Cry 3, once said. He described the habit of doing the same thing over and over again as insanity. The irony is in the fact that whenever Ubisoft sees something get successful, they go about repeating it till people get bored of it, and there’s a fear that Far Cry 7 would fall into the same trap.
Ever since the launch and moderate performance of Far Cry 6, the developer publisher has been working pretty hard. They have refrained from announcing or even talking about Far Cry 7, but some recent reports have suggested that it would be a very different game this time around.
