Dying to know if there is any info pertaining to a release of a new farcry coming out.... anything?

I recall that during their earnings review Ubisoft said that they pushed back their next big releases to 2021 after their 2019 releases were received poorly, and that included new entries for Far Cry, Watch_Dogs and Assassin's Creed. I think Ubisoft is falling into the EA trap, which is a shame after coming from a period of healing wounds between themselves and gamers.
Don't think so, but after 5 and New Dawn I hope they sit down and take their time. It has gotten stale and those two games were a huge downgrade from 3 and 4.
FC5 was OK, but the story and idiotic bossfight sequences were annoying.
New Dawn however was outright bad. Bad like Breakpoint bad, (weapon tiers and enemy tiers, XP walls, this is not an RPG but a shooter, get that shit out of here).
So they'd better re-evaluate what they are doing because their last two open world releases were terrible. From 9 to 3 in 2 years.
I played exactly as I played FC5 (meaning not going out of my way to grind for shit)., and I barely had a fraction of the materials needed to upgrade the base when higher tier enemies started cropping up that I couldn't even hurt with my tier 1 equipment. Bullet sponge? More like bullet black holes. It wasn't as bad as it was made out, it was much worse.I really liked New Dawn. People made a huge deal out of the enemy level stuff, but I never really found it to be that much of a hindrance when playing. The game's weapon progression system happens so quickly that it only gets in the way if you intentionally avoid upgrading the base. With how easy it is to get the materials needed for it and even the specialists you really never are in a situation where you don't have access to the right weapon tier when needed. It was a bit of a clunky system that really wasn't needed in a Far Cry game, but I never found it to be anywhere near as bad as it was made out.

Feel the same way. FC1 was brilliant for its time, FC2 was a mess, then FC3 was good once (the story was already bad there), but now we are at the 5th iteration. And with RPG elements and tiered shit it doesn't even have the original appeal. How many times do they want to skin the same beast?I want them to go back to FC1. FC2 was awful. 3/4/5/ND were all the same to me. Big evil boss, "go get em" rinse repeat. FC1 and FC3 were astonishing for their times, hope they have a title like that for 2021.
IMO Assassin's Creed Odyssey was the best game in that series since the first two. Origins was also quite good, although it wasn't as fleshed out. Both sold well and were well received.
Based upon their track record, the next game will still use that same engine and gameplay style.
Far Cry has been mostly the same since 2012, though. It's LONG due for some kind of sea change.
5 was the first one I really didn't like. (never played primal though)
what I hated about it was the forced progression and hand holding. What I liked about 2,3,4 is that you could progress when you wanted and jsut go do whatever until you wanted to do a story mission. I hated that when you tried that in 5 you would eventually get pull through the story even if you didn't want to. It forced me to play how it wanted me to play.
funny FC2 gets beat up so much, other than the length of it, I liked it. It just felt WAY too long of game.
Watch Dogs I'm not sure about, suppose 2021 makes sense.
They've been showing gameplay for Watchdogs Legion for months so I highly doubt they'll delay it that long. 2020 for a new Watchdogs for sure.
I've completely forgotten about that game. Knew it existed and watched videos and even commented on it in the past here. Took me about 5 seconds after reading "Legion" to remember it. I suppose that is an indication of my interest in it and Ubisoft in general at the moment.
