[QUOTE="Admin, post: 70244, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2021/10/20/far-cry-3-1634750301653.jpg[/IMG] Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot has been questioned over the future of his company — and his own position in it — as part of a wide-ranging interview that also confirmed multiple Far Cry titles are in the works. Speaking to [URL='https://variety.com/2026/gaming/news/ubisoft-ceo-interview-yves-guillemot-layoffs-creative-house-1236667500/']Variety[/URL], Guillemot was quizzed on his plans for Ubisoft following its recent company restructure and ongoing job losses ([URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/ubisoft-insists-mia-splinter-cell-remake-still-in-development-despite-fresh-layoffs']with another 40 roles confirmed gone just overnight[/URL]). There were questions, too, of his personal response to [URL='https://za.ign.com/assassins-creed-shadows/225554/news/union-says-1200-ubisoft-staff-went-on-strike-this-week-protesting-closures-cost-cutting-and-return-t']recent staff strikes that sparked fresh calls for his resignation[/URL], and to the persistent grumbles surrounding the appointment of his son Charlie Guillemot as co-CEO of Vantage Studios, the company division now overseeing Ubisoft's most prized franchises, including Far Cry and Assassin's Creed. "On Far Cry, anticipation is high, and we currently have two very promising projects in development," Guillemot said, without providing further detail. The franchise's last title, [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/far-cry-6']Far Cry 6[/URL], launched in 2021. Previous reporting has suggested that the next entry will offer a more radical upgrade to the series' usual formula.

"Ubisoft was created as a family company, and our strong heritage helps us take a long-term view, prioritizing sustainable growth, creative ambition, and continuity over short-term cycles," Guillemot said when asked about the accusations of nepotism that surrounded Vantage Studios' announcement. "This perspective guides our decisions and helps us build franchises, teams, and strategies that endure for decades.
