Far Cry 7 Leaks Hint at a PvPvE Extraction Overhaul for the Franchise

The Far Cry series has always been famous for offering single-player narrative-driven adventures that place players in the wilderness to face off against ruthless despots and cults. However, leaks suggest Far Cry 7 is shifting to a PvPvE extraction format, making a radical departure from the franchise’s established identity.

It’s worth noting that Ubisoft hasn’t officially announced Far Cry 7 yet, so take these leaks with a pinch of salt. But if they’re true, then the series is set for a PvPvE extraction overhaul.

Far Cry 7 Reportedly Features a High-Stakes PvPvE Survival Loop

Known Ubisoft dataminer Rogue I Tx took to X (formerly Twitter) yesterday to share the following details about Far Cry 7:

• High-stakes PvEVP scavenge and extract survival loop
• Sons of Truth
• Still includes the Time limit as shared a while ago, up to 72 hours
• Rescue up to 6 Family Members
• Safehouse
• Weapon Durability
• Grizzly Bears, wolves, Foxes, Deers

Weirdly enough, some of these leaks closely align with alleged Far Cry 7 plot details reported by Insider Gaming three years ago, which claimed the non-linear story revolves around rescuing family members kidnapped by the conspiracy group, the Sons of Truth, within a 72-hour time limit.

The three-year-old plot leaks also mentioned safehouses that players can enter to pause the in-game timer, so it does seem like Far Cry 7’s plot hasn’t changed all that much over the years. But the “High-stakes PvEVP scavenge and extract survival loop” is a new one that indicates Ubisoft is taking a radically different approach for the next game, and how that’ll play out remains to be seen.

However, no sources were provided or attached with yesterday’s leak, so nothing is confirmed yet. Keep in mind that this is the same leaker who claimed that Far Cry 7 is set in Alaska and is being developed using the Snowdrop Engine last year, which was later debunked.

Interestingly, the dataminer’s tweet about these leaks is still pinned on their X account, and it mentions an “Extraction Mode featuring wildlife”, with one of the locations apparently called Paradise Park. Plus, this mode will also have vehicles, according to the tweet.

Ubisoft has yet to announce or acknowledge anything about Far Cry 7, as they’re currently focused on launching Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. Still, the new leaks are interesting to say the least, and some of it lines up perfectly with the alleged plot details Insider Gaming reported three years ago, so make of that what you will.

Far Cry 7 Will Still Feature a Campaign Despite PvPvE Overhaul Leaks

Shortly after sharing the leaks on X, Ubisoft dataminer Rogue I Tx clarified that Far Cry 7 will still have a campaign despite the PvPvE extraction structure. It’s still unclear how the game will work, as the leaker did not share any more information on it.

Earlier this year, Ubisoft confirmed that there were not one but two Far Cry projects in development, potentially with multiplayer and live-service elements, and the leaked PvPvE extraction format seems to drive that idea home. Still, it would be an unexpected shift regardless, especially for the next mainline entry in the franchise.

As for the release window, the dataminer explained in a tweet last month that Far Cry 7 is eyeing a 2027 launch internally, but it might change since “its been stuck in a development struggle”. It has been years since players have received a new Far Cry title, with the sixth main instalment launching five years ago.

Well, at least the fans can look forward to the Far Cry TV series from Noah Hawley and Rob Mac in the meantime while they wait for the seventh mainline title in the popular franchise.
