Ubisoft proclaims a live-action Far Cry TV collection then instantly pretends it did not announce a live-action Far Cry TV collection

Ubisoft isn’t any stranger to its videogame information leaking forward of time, however that is the primary time I can keep in mind one in all its TV reveals leaking early. And the leak is coming from inside the home: an article a couple of new tv challenge appeared on Ubisoft’s personal information website over the weekend however was then rapidly eliminated.

Not rapidly sufficient, nonetheless: the now-missing information put up introduced {that a} live-action Far Cry TV collection is within the works at FX. A put up on the Far Cry subreddit (which was additionally eliminated however reported on by Eurogamer) captured a couple of particulars. Described as an “anthology drama” the place “every season can be set in a brand new world with a unique forged of characters,” the present is reportedly being govt produced by Noah Hawley, who created the Fargo collection for FX in addition to Alien: Earth, which begins airing on FX this week.

Starring in and co-executive producing the Far Cry collection is Rob McElhenney of It is All the time Sunny in Philadelphia—who in some unspecified time in the future began going by the title “Rob Mac,” apparently. (I missed this information however I am in favor of it as a result of each time I attempt to spell McElhenney (like now) I’ve to look it up (I simply seemed it up.))

You are most likely conscious this may not be the primary Far Cry adaptation: the infamous 2008 Far Cry film made by Uwe Boll was virtually universally hated by each audiences and reviewers—I’ve by no means seen it myself, however I abruptly really feel like I ought to give it a watch. In 2023, Netflix launched anime collection Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, which everybody appeared to love—and I really feel like I am letting you down once more right here, however I have never seen that both.

Nevertheless it’s additionally clever to keep in mind that Ubisoft has introduced an entire buncha TV and movie variations over the previous few years that we have not gotten and will by no means truly materialize: An Murderer’s Creed TV collection, a Past Good & Evil animated movie, a live-action film based mostly on Tom Clancy’s The Division, a Simply Dance movie, a Riders Republic film, a Watch Canines film, a Rabbids movie, a Splinter Cell collection, and even a Cranium & Bones TV present.

Do you suppose we’ll actually get a Cranium & Bones TV present? I do not suppose we’ll ever get a Cranium & Bones TV present. A Far Cry present feels a bit extra probably, particularly since Ubisoft beforehand teamed up with Rob Mac (that’s simpler to spell) for Apple TV+ sitcom Mythic Quest, which ran for 4 seasons earlier than being cancelled earlier this 12 months.

The opposite massive query: why take down the announcement? Even when it was by chance posted early, you would possibly as nicely simply run with it as a result of now everyone knows about it. I’ve requested Ubisoft for remark and can replace this text if I hear again. (The good cash is on me not listening to again.)
