Analysis
There are a number of possible reasons why Ubisoft decided to end support for Far Cry 6. One possibility is that the game simply did not sell as well as the company had hoped. While Far Cry 6 was a commercial success, it did not sell as well as its predecessor, Far Cry 5.
Another possibility is that Ubisoft is simply focusing its resources on other projects. The company has a number of big-name franchises, such as Assassin’s Creed and Tom Clancy’s, and it may be that Ubisoft is prioritizing these franchises over Far Cry.
Finally, it is also possible that Ubisoft is simply waiting for the right time to release a new Far Cry game. The company may be waiting for the next generation of consoles to be more widely available before releasing a new Far Cry game, or it may be waiting for a new technological breakthrough, such as the development of virtual reality.
Whatever the reason, the decision to end support for Far Cry 6 is a sign that Ubisoft is looking to the future. The company is clearly focused on developing new and innovative games, and it is likely that we will see some exciting things from Ubisoft in the years to come.
