Following the announcement of Netflix’s live-action Assassin’s Creed adaptation, Ubisoft has unveiled plans for another series rooted in its gaming catalogue. Teaming with FX, the studio is developing a television rendition of its blockbuster Far Cry franchise, though the reveal came prematurely after an accidental website update briefly exposed project details.
The leaked information, swiftly removed but archived by Reddit users, indicates the show will adopt an episodic anthology structure. Per the cached data, each installment will spotlight unique settings and characters, mirroring the games’ tradition of self-contained narratives.
Creative leadership falls to FX veterans Noah Hawley (Fargo, Alien: Earth) and Rob Mac (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia). Mac, who recently streamlined his professional moniker, will reportedly headline Season 1 while serving as executive producer alongside Hawley. Additional producers include Jackie Cohn (More Better Productions), Michael Garcia (26Keys), Nick Frenkel (3Arts), and Ubisoft’s Margret Boykin, Austin Dill, and Gerad Guillemot.
Boykin, overseeing Ubisoft’s screen ventures, described the partnership as “a treasure trove of creative alignment,” emphasizing that Far Cry’s blend of “existential chaos and biting satire” dovetails with FX’s “audacious narrative style.”
Insiders suggest the series will forge original storylines rather than revisit game plots, though subtle nods to iconic antagonists like Vaas may surface. With FX yet to confirm casting or release windows, fans speculate whether Mac’s involvement signals dark comedic undertones—a tonal shift from the games’ intense survival themes. Ubisoft is expected to re-announce official details once production advances beyond preliminary stages.
