It has been leaked that Ubisoft is preparing a 'Far Cry' series for FX.

An error on Ubisoft 's official blog revealed a secret project: a series based on the popular Far Cry franchise. The company is working with FX to bring the saga to the small screen, with Noah Hawley (Fargo) as showrunner and Rob McElhenney (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) as co-creator and co-star.

This premiere arrives during the golden age of video game adaptations, following the success of The Last of Us and the anticipation for Fallout and Resident Evil.

Anthology format

The series will follow an anthology format. Each season will take place in a different region with a new cast, maintaining the independent essence of the video games.

This way, original storylines can be told that capture the wild and dangerous spirit of Far Cry. The appearance of iconic characters, such as Vaas Montenegro, is not ruled out, thanks to Michael Mando's recognition.

A dark and provocative perspective

Margaret Boykin, head of content at Ubisoft Film & Television, described the series as "a psychological downward spiral" that is unafraid to show the darkest and most absurd aspects of humanity. This fits perfectly with FX's bold and disruptive style.

The production is backed by More Better Productions, 26Keys Productions, 3Arts Entertainment, and Ubisoft representatives such as Gerard Guillemot, Boykin, and Austin Dill.

What do Hawley and McElhenney bring?

Noah Hawley brings his experience in anthology stories with high suspense and dramatic twists. Rob McElhenney contributes a touch of humor and irreverence, aligned with Far Cry's DNA.

The combination promises a series with drama, action, and a critical perspective that goes beyond the typical shooter game.

No official date, but with an eye on Far Cry 7

No release date has been confirmed yet, nor has an official statement been published following the leak. There is speculation that Ubisoft could launch the series in parallel with the upcoming Far Cry 7, to boost media and commercial impact.
