New Far Cry IP Boss Aims to Unleash “The Next Evolution” of the Franchise

Ubisoft’s Far Cry is a massive franchise. All the titles from the series have been praised extensively by fans. With Far Cry 7 next in line, Ubisoft has made it public knowledge that the Far Cry IP is getting overhauled with a focus on future plans. The franchise has a new boss, who will direct future titles.

Despite a star-studded cast, Far Cry 6 failed to follow up on the success of Far Cry 5 and New Dawn. And the new boss of the Far Cry IP will look to switch things up.

Far Cry IP gets a new leader

Drew Holmes is a popular name amongst Ubisoft fans. So naturally, the community is excited with the new information and many believe Ubisoft has made the right decision by giving Holmes the wheel of the ship. Holmes has worked on BioShock Infinite, which is widely regarded as one of the best first-person shooters. He’s also been a member of the teams that developed the Saint’s Row titles, making him an ideal candidate for the job of leading the development of Far Cry 7.

With Holmes at the helm, fans believe the next Far Cry will turn the tides in favor of the franchise. The previous installment dampened the fans’ feelings with a stale narrative, despite having a great actor to portray the evil Castillo. The game failed to make an impression with poor gameplay and mechanics.

Now having an industry veteran who served as Narrative Lead for Far Cry 5 is likely to re-ignite community hopes for a better game. Holmes has also previously worked on BioShock Infinite, considered one of the best story-driven games to be made.

New boss is excited for the coming days

Holmes is optimistic about what Far Cry titles will deliver to the fans in the future. While Far Cry New Dawn re-defined the franchise, Far Cry 6 couldn’t hold a candle to its predecessors. Holmes is positive about turning the situation around.

Holmes reassured fans after being announced as the new IP director. “Don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to be a part of the next evolution of this great brand!” This has fans speculating about what the new title will look like.
