Far Cry 6 will no longer receive future updates but online services will continue
Ubisoft has announced this Far Cry6 will no longer receive updates, but players can still access the game’s online services.
In a new statement shared on Tweet Yesterday (November 1), Ubisoft said: “Thanks to the millions of players who joined the battle. Your adventures can continue in Yara without interruption to the online services. However, the development team will no longer be making updates for Far Cry6.
“We appreciate your passion, creativity and love for Chorizo, even Anton is proud.”
The publisher did not reveal the reason behind the decision to halt development Far Cry6, but it seems possible that the team will shift its focus to the next installment in the series. However, at the time of writing, Ubisoft has not yet announced that a new entry is in development.
Far Cry6 launched in October 2021 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC. We rated the game four out of five stars, with Rhys Wood calling it “possibly the best in Ubisoft’s long-running open-world shooter series.”
He wrote: “Far Cry6 is the latest and perhaps best in Ubisoft’s long-running open-world shooter series. The island of Yara is a beautiful, dangerous place to explore, packed with secrets and objectives that are definitely worth tracking down this time. However, it’s still best enjoyed in small doses, as Ubisoft’s tendency to fill every inch of the map with side objectives remains.”
In other news, earlier this week it was announced that Ubisoft would be suspending online services for 10 games, including Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed BrotherhoodAnd Assassin’s Creed Reveals, together with non-Assassin’s Creed games like Ghost Recon Future soldier, Splinter cell: beliefAnd LIST
