Ubisoft has quietly released a new mobile shooter, known as Wild Arena Survivors last week. According to a new report, this game was actually a Far Cry, but the company preferred to eliminate all references to the saga and release it without ads.
The information comes from mobilegamer.biz, which reports via a source that Wild Arena Survivors was formerly known as Far Cry: Wild Call and it was supposed to be a battle royale spin-off of the well-known franchise. The game would have had an artistic component similar to Far Cry 6.
The name has remained in some parts of the game, for example in the Wild Call Festival and is reminiscent of Far Cry 6 for the palette of colors, for the animals and other details. The name of the saga, however, has been deleted from Wild Arena Survivors, according to the source, because Ubisoft has decided to reduce investments in terms of marketing after the game failed to convince during the testing phase.
The source also adds that Ubisoft not paying attention to mobile games, not as much as the console and PC titles: also for this reason Wild Arena Survivors was released almost secretly. According to the source, Ubisoft has spent more than it should have on development and now wants to recover costs and learn how to manage a mobile multiplayer game. The source says that while the games are expensive and low-performing, learning from them is still important from a Ubisoft perspective.
However, it seems that Ubisoft has many games coming up, such as Assassin’s Creed: 4 games and a DLC will be announced at Ubisoft Forward according to Tom Henderson.
