FX has officially ordered a new television series inspired by Ubisoft’s Far Cry video game franchise. This project marks another step for Ubisoft into adapting its popular game properties for television, following previous collaborations with streaming platforms and its involvement in the creation of Apple TV+’s Mythic Quest.

The upcoming Far Cry series will be structured as an anthology, meaning each season will introduce a new setting and a fresh cast of characters. Rob Mac (known for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Mythic Quest) will serve as executive producer through his company More Better Productions and is also set to star in the show. Noah Hawley (recognized for Fargo and Alien: Earth) will executive produce through his 26 Keys production banner.

Mac expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, highlighting the opportunity to work with Hawley and the trust Ubisoft has placed in the team. Hawley noted the anthology format of the Far Cry games as a key inspiration, allowing each season to explore new themes and characters while maintaining a focus on complex storytelling.

This live-action adaptation is not Ubisoft’s first venture into transmedia projects. In 2023, Ubisoft Film and Television and Netflix released the animated series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, which drew from various Ubisoft game worlds. Additionally, Ubisoft and Netflix recently approved a live-action Assassin’s Creed series, led by Roberto Patino and David Wiener. The companies also launched Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, an animated series based on Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, in October, following the cancellation of a planned film adaptation.

Transmedia adaptations remain a significant trend in the video game industry this year. Other companies, such as Activision with a live-action Call of Duty film and Nintendo with projects like The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and a Legend of Zelda film, are also expanding their franchises into new media formats. Multiple projects based on Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding games are also in development.
