Ubisoft may be planning another surprise

Ubisoft social media tease for Far Cry may be just the tip of the iceberg for the company. Various rumors have suggested that Ubisoft may have an announcement soon Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed franchise. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake could soon be available to launch alongside the highly anticipated remaster Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. Since both Ubisoft titles have been the subject of speculation throughout 2025, it stands to reason that Ubisoft could show fans more details for the launch of 2026. But unless the company says otherwise, rumors about Ubisoft's plans should be taken with a grain of salt.

Regardless of Ubisoft's immediate plans, current-gen console gamers will soon be able to experience three of the best Far Cry titles with a higher frame rate. With the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S now in their sixth year on the market, time will tell if other last-gen titles get upgrades that take advantage of each system's hardware.
