While details on the unannounced project remain slim, Ubisoft Shanghai’s studio design manager Xavier Plagnal claims to have been serving as “content director on the next Far Cry” since September 2013.

He previously served as the content director on Splinter Cell: Blacklist’s Hunter co-op mode, his profile states, and worked on NCIS: The Game, Beowulf and an undisclosed Ubisoft Action RPG.
