Following some leaks, the existence of a TV present primarily based on Ubisoft’s Far Cry video games has been formally confirmed. FX ordered up the mission, which is able to stream on Hulu within the US and Disney+ internationally.
Ubisoft’s official tweet revealed that the brand new sequence will an anthology, following the templates of the video games with every season providing up a brand new setting and forged.
The mission is being led by FX producers Rob Mac, Creator of It’s All the time Sunny in Philadelphia and Government Producer of the Emmy-winning Welcome to Wrexham, and Noah Hawley, creator of FX’s anthology sequence Fargo and Alien: Earth.
Rob Mac may also apparently be starring.
“FX has had magnificent partnerships with Rob Mac and Noah Hawley for a mixed six sequence and 32 seasons of tv, and we couldn’t be extra excited that they’re teaming up for Far Cry,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment via a Ubisoft press release.
“Attending to work alongside Noah Hawley is a dream realized,” mentioned Mac. “Ubisoft has been remarkably beneficiant, entrusting us with one of the iconic video-game worlds ever created. And thru all of it, my FX household continues to carry me up with their fixed perception and help.”
“What I like in regards to the Far Cry recreation franchise is it’s an anthology. Every recreation is a variation of a theme, the identical means every season of Fargo is a variation on a theme,” mentioned Hawley. “To create a giant motion present that may change from yr to yr, whereas at all times exploring the character of humanity via this advanced and chaotic lens is a dream come true.”
No launch date for the sequence has been introduced simply but, so presumably we received’t be seeing it for some time.
It’ll be fascinating to see if the TV present leans closely on the sport’s established storylines, due to this fact having basically six seasons value of content material able to adapt, or will simply be extra loosely primarily based on them.
I can’t assist however assume if they simply base it on the sport’s although, then it will find yourself being a generic motion sequence that has little do with the video games. The Far Cry titles have gameplay that tie all of them collectively, however when examined from a story perspective, there’s probably not a lot that ties them collectively thematically or narratively. When you take away the gameplay, what makes Far Cry…properly, Far Cry? The TV present might want to determine that out.
And let’s not overlook that the unique Far Cry concerned genetically mutated creatures referred to as Trigens. I’m wondering in the event that they’ll try this storyline?
