The only multiplayer I would ever want is co-op in FarCry. This is just sad, they're so desperately trying to just make profit go up, while completely ignoring what made the series great in the first place. I played 5, and while it was fun it was so repetitive and boring that I knew unless they seriously went back to their roots I wouldn't be going back.

they all do which is why I disregard anything these aaaaaaaaaa companies do as real products. they aren't. to me, none of them exist anymore.

Lol, wut? The entire point of the Far Cry series is the single player.

Though it has been clear for awhile the single player experience in Far Cry games has been going downhill. With this announcement, any shred of worth in the series is in the past.

Not to be that guy, but this is incorrect. The first Far Cry titles had impressive map editors on console. It was so much fun building, sharing, and playing them over xbconnect back in the day. I would love to see the return of this, but I'm sure the implementation will be something more along the lines of live service enshittification.

Ubisoft continues being the worst major publisher in the world for like 15 years now

I didn't even know there was multiplayer in Far Cry games even though I finished all of them.
