Steve Buscemi joins the Far Cry TV series cast and now we're all wondering: will he be a weird, helpful NPC, or a weirdly charismatic villain?

Have you ever thought to yourself, I bet Steve Buscemi would make a good Far Cry villain? I think he would. He's charismatic, superficially good-natured, kind of odd looking, extremely high-strung, and prone to sudden, sometimes random outbursts of extreme violence. And I'm not the only one who thinks so—the people making the live-action Far Cry series for FX do, too... Read more.

Have you noticed that things have been kind of quiet on the Ubisoft front lately? Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is doing quite well, but what else has it done for us lately?

Far Cry TV series showrunner says he's 'not specifically adapting any of the games,' and the creative director of Far Cry 4 doesn't care for that very much

Noah Hawley, the executive producer of the live action Far Cry series revealed (and then quickly unrevealed, but too late) last year, says he was attracted to the series because it's an "anthology" that tells a different story, with different setting, characters, and motivations, with every new game. And precisely none of those games will be featured in the series, because Hawley has other ideas.....

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot plans to push multiplayer in future Far Cry games

When you think of Far Cry, you don't necessarily think multiplayer. You might think bombastic set pieces or awe-inspiring global adventures. That's not to say the series hasn't flirted with it before - Far Cry 5 and 6 both had online co-op campaigns, and some games even had PvP modes, although I don't know anyone who played them and this was scrapped for the latest entry. Despite the fact that the...

After leaving Ubisoft to launch an anime avatar AI/NFT startup, Yves Guillemot's son returns to take charge of its new Tencent-backed Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow 6 subsidiary

When Ubisoft and Tencent announced the creation of a new company that will take control of Ubi's Big Three—Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six—the obvious question, for me at least, was, who's really going to be in charge here? Ubisoft has the games, yes, but Tencent has the money. Today we got our answer, and it turns out that it's not the games that really matter, but the name—and that na...
